[Verse 1]
F
I'm workin' on my rewrite, that's right
Bb F
Gonna change the ending
Bb F
Throw away the title
Bb F
And toss it in the trash
Bb F
Every minute after midnight
Bb F
All the time I'm spending
Bb F
Is just for workin' on my rewrite, that's right
Bb F
Gonna turn it into cash
[Verse 2]
Bb F
I been workin' at the car wash
Bb F
I consider it my day job
Bb F
'Cause it's really not a pay job
Bb F
But that's where I am
Bb F
Everybody says "The old guy
Bb F
Workin' at the car wash?"
Bb F
Hasn't got a brain cell left
Bb F
Since Vietnam
[Chorus]
Bb
But I say
F7
Help me, help me
F
Help me, help me
Bb
Ohhh
F
Thank you
Bb
I'd no idea
F
That you were there
Bb F7
When I said help me, help me
F
Help me, help me
Bb
Ohhh
F
Thank you
Bb F
For listening to my prayer
[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
Bb F
I'll eliminate the pages
Bb F
Where the father has a breakdown
Bb F
And he has to leave the family
Bb F
But he really meant no harm
Bb F
Gonna substitute a car chase
Bb F
And a race across the rooftops
Bb F
Where the father saves the children
Bb F
And he holds them in his arms
[Chorus]
Bb
I said
F7
Help me, help me
F
Help me, help me
Bb
Ohh
F
Thank you
Bb
I'd no idea
F
That you were there
Bb
When I said
F7
Help me, help me
F
Help me, help me
Bb
Ohhh
F
Thank you
Bb F
For listening to my prayer
