God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken heart,
Ab Absus4add9 Ab
Guess you kissed the girls and made them cry,
Gb Gbadd9 Gb
Those hard-faced Queens of misadventure.

God knows what is hiding in those weak and sunken eyes,
Ab Absus4add9 Ab
A fiery throng of muted angels,
Gb
Giving love and getting nothing back.
Chorus:

God knows what is hiding in this world of little consequence,
Behind the tears, inside the lies,
A thousand slowly dying sunsets.
God knows what is hiding in those weak and drunken hearts,
Guess the loneliness came knocking,
No-one needs to be alone, oh, save me.
Chorus:
Oh, people, help the people,
And if you’re homesick, give me your hand and I’ll hold it.
People, help the people,
Nothing will drag you down.
Oh, and if I had a brain, oh, and if I had a brain,
I’d be cold as a stone and rich as the fool
That turned all those good hearts away.
