Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D]
[G][D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]What good am I,
[Bm]if I'm l[G]ike all the re[D]st
If [Bm]I turn [D]away[Bm][D]
when [G]I see how you're [D]dressed
If [Bm]I shut myself off so I can't
hear you [F#m]cry
[A]Oh, [G]what [D]good [G]am [D]I?

[Interlude 1]
[G][D]

[Verse 2]
[D]What good am I, if I [G]know and don't [D]do
If I see and don't say,
if [G]I look right [D]through you
If [Bm]I turn a deaf ear to the
thunder [F#m]in the sky
You tell me, [G]what [D]good [G]am [D]I?

[Interlude 2]
[G][D][Bm]

[Verse 3]
What good am [Bm]I, if I say foolish things
And I laugh in the face of what [F#m]sorrow brings
If my [Bm]hands are tied, must I wonder within
Who tied them and why?
And [F#m]where have I [Em]been,

[Interlude 3]
where have I been
[Em][D][G][D][G][D]
[Bm][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 4]
What good [D]am I, while you [G]softly [D]weep
And I hear in my head what
you [G]say in your [D]sleep
And I [Bm]freeze in the moment like
the rest that don't [F#m]try
You tell [G]me, what [D]good [G]am [D]I ?

[Verse 5]
What good am [D]I, what good [Bm]am I[G],
[D]if I watch you[G] cry[D]
If I sat an' lay there [Bm]while [G]you slowly [D]die
You need [G]some[D]body to try
Someone to [G]wipe your weepin' [D]eye
Someone to sob for you and
never say good bye
You need [G]some

[Verse 6]
[D]body to try
Someone to [G]wipe your weepin' [D]eye
Someone to sob for you and
never say good bye
What [G]good am I ?

[Outro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][G]
