Helpless Chords by The Regrettes

Helpless Chords by The Regrettes

[Intro]
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                                           A
   My sister made her way across the room to you
                                             C#m
And I got nervous, thinking “What’s she gonna do?”
                                                 B
She grabbed you by the arm, I’m 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                                                          C#m
And I’m trying not to cry cause there’s nothing that your mind can’t do
                                            A
My father makes his way across the room to you
                                       C#m
I panic for a second thinking “we’re through”
                                           B
But then he shakes your hand and 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
