Jason Isbell
[Intro]
(No intro)
 
[Chorus]
 
|Em                       |
 What've I done to help? -
|Em                          Em/F# |G       | G |
 What've I done to help? Somebody   save me
|Am                       |
 What've I done to help? -
|Am                               |Em    | Em |
 What've I done to help, and not myself?
 
|Em                       |
 What've I done to help? -
|Em                          Em/F# |G       | G |
 What've I done to help? Somebody   save me
|Am                       |
 What've I done to help? -
|Am                               |Em   |Em  D |
 What've I done to help, and not myself? --- -
 
[Verse]
 
|C                 |Am          D
 --- Thought I was alone in the world
         |Em                                |Em    /F# G G/B |
 Until my memories gathered 'round me in the night -   - -
|C                  |Am             D             |Em   |Em /F# G
 --- I thought I was strong until I finally had to fight -  -   -
      G/B    |C                         |Am
 If I kept my head down and showed up to work on time
     D             |Em  |Em /F# G         G/B         |C
 And watched my appetite -  -   - put the money in the mattress
         |Am                 D             |Em   | Em |
 Lock the doors at night and we'd all be alright
 
[Chorus]
 
|Em                       |
 What've I done to help? -
|Em                          Em/F# |G       | G |
 What've I done to help? Somebody   save me
|Am                       |
 What've I done to help? -
|Am                               |Em    | Em |
 What've I done to help, and not myself?
 
|Em                       |
 What've I done to help? -
|Em                          Em/F# |G       | G |
 What've I done to help? Somebody   save me
|Am                       |
 What've I done to help? -
|Am                               |Em   |
 What've I done to help, and not myself?
 
[Verse]
 
|Em            D      |C                  |Am
 --- See, I've made mistakes that I can't erase
 D            |Em                                  |Em /F# G
 - Some of the love I've lost will not come back to me -   -
   G/B     |C                |Am
 I broke my word, I lied on a Bible
         D            |Em   |
 Just to feel a little free
|Em      D       |C                       |Am
 --- She didn't deserve it, nobody ever deserves it
 D          |Em                         |Em  /F# G
 - But I cut anchor and I drifted out to sea -   -
         G/B     |C                      |Am
 And you found me busted, and somehow you trusted
       D               |Em | Em |
 I was not what I could be
 
[Chorus]
 
|Em                       |
 What've I done to help? -
|Em                          Em/F# |G       | G |
 What've I done to help? Somebody   save me
|Am                       |
 What've I done to help? -
|Am                               |Em    | Em |
 What've I done to help, and not myself?
 
|Em                       |
 What've I done to help? -
|Em                          Em/F# |G       | G |
 What've I done to help? Somebody   save me
|Am                       |
 What've I done to help? -
|Am                               |Em   |
 What've I done to help, and not myself?
 
[Verse]
 
|Em     D         |C                         |Am
 --- We climbed to safety, you and me and the baby
 D            |Em                                       |Em     /F# G G/B |
 - We send our thoughts and prayers to loved ones on the ground -   - -
 
|C             |Am              D                   |Em         |
 --- And as the days went by we just stopped looking down, down
|Em   /F# G         G/B       |C                     |Am
 Down -   - Now the world's on fire and we just climb higher
 D             |Em                              |Em    /F# G
- 'Til we're no longer bothered by the smoke and sound -   -
      G/B   |C                           |Am
 Good people suffer -- and the heart gets tougher
         D             |Em    | Em |
 Nothing given, nothing found
 
[Chorus]

 What've I done to help? -
|Em                          Em/F# |G       | G |
 What've I done to help? Somebody   save me
|Am                       |
 What've I done to help? -
|Am                               |Em    | Em |
 What've I done to help, and not myself?
