Intro - F     Gm     F     Gm     C
          F
I've been burning
              Gm
The candle at both ends
     F         
And running myself more ragged
      Gm        C      Am
Than a Raggedy Ann
                    Gm
I couldn't read the writing
       F
On the wall
Dm      Dm7/C    G
Until I hit that wall
           Gm           F      Gm       
And that was no help at all
          
I've been learning
All my lessons the hard way
And nursing the exit wound
From a near fatal mistake
You could say it was time
For a wake up call
I never did get that call
           Gm        F
There was no help at all

Dm
Won't somebody tell me
           Gm
What these eyes are for
              F
I can't see a light any more
              A
I can't see a light any more
       Dm
It gets lonesome in that valley
             Gm
Well, you're on your own
              F
You've got to go it alone
              A             Dm   Dm7/C  G    Gm    
You've got to go it alone

(repeat intro)

I've been burning
All my bridges and contacts
And running the risk of losing
All you can never get back
If I'm shooting myself in the foot
I'll crawl
I'm willing to take that fall
                Gm         F
I'll do it with no help at all
  Dm        Dm7/C    G
I never did get that call
               Gm         F
Man, there was no help at all
            Gm       F
There was no help at all
            Gm       F
There was no help at all

No help at all
There was no, no help at all
I've been burning
The candle at both ends
No help at all
There was no one around
No help at all
