C              F          G7             C
It was easy to pick me up easy to put me down
       F                               G7
It was easy to give you all the love I had
C                              F
It was easy for you to make me think
      G7                  C
I had made the grass turn green
                               F
Cause the little love you gave me
G7                  C
Was more than I had seen

Helen it hurts when I try to be strong
     F                                  G7
When most of the reasons for living are gone
C               F                    G7            C
Well you got me where you want me  a lonely crying clown
                                  F
And you've almost got the best of me
G7                       C
And you've almost got me down

Verse 3

                         F          G7             C
Well it seems the givers always get taken just for fools
      F                                       G7
Cause takers know that livers love by all the rules
C                   F
While lovers do the living
        G7              C
And the living do their best
                               F
And the takers take it all the time
G7                     C
And the givers get the rest

And you've almost got me down
