Helpless

E                     A
Ooh, I do I do I do I do, hey
E              A
Ooh, I do I do I do
Boy you got me

[Chorus]
 E         A
Helpless, look into your eyes and 
the sky’s the limit
     E         A
I’m helpless, down for the count and
 I’m drowning in ‘em

[Verse]
E
I have never been the type to try 
and grab the spotlight
A
We were at a revel with some rebels 
on a hot night
E
Laughing at my sister as she’s 
dazzling the room
      A
Then you walked in and my heart went
 “Boom!”
E
Trying to catch your eye from the 
side of the ballroom
A
Everybody’s dancing and the band’s 
top volume
E
Grind to the rhythm as we wine and 
dine
         A
Grab my sister and whisper “Yo, this
 one’s mine.”
C#m                               
   My sister made her way across 
            E
the room to you
Continues after the ad
And I got nervous, thinking “What’s 
         A
she gonna do?”
She grabbed you by the arm, I’m 
                 B
thinking “I’m through”

Then you look back at me and 
suddenly I’m

[Chorus]
 E         A
Helpless, look into your eyes and 
the sky’s the limit
     E         A
I’m helpless, down for the count and
 I’m drowning in ‘em
 E         A
Helpless, look into your eyes and 
the sky’s the limit
     E         A
I’m helpless, down for the count and
 I’m drowning in ‘em

[Verse]
E
One week later, I’m writing a letter
 nightly
A
Now my life gets better, every 
letter that you write me
E
Laughing at my sister cause she 
wants to form a harem
N.C.
I’m just saying if you really loved 
me you would share him

Ha!
E
Two weeks later in the living room 
stressin’
    A
My father’s stone faced while you’re
 asking for his blessin’
    E
I’m dying inside as you wine and 
dine
         A                     
And I’m trying not to cry cause 
there’s nothing that your mind can’t
 C#m
 do
My father makes his way across the 
         E
room to you
I panic for a second thinking “we’re
    A
 through”
But then he shakes your hand and 
          B
says “Be true”

And you turn back to me, smiling, 
and I’m

[Chorus]
 E         A
Helpless, look into your eyes and 
the sky’s the limit
     E         A
I’m helpless, down for the count and
 I’m drowning in ‘em
