Cs6         C
when life is too hectic
        Cs5           C
grown a little too dialectic
         Cs6     C
and your soul is atrophied
         Cs5      C
and your heart is at your feet
    F            Fs6  F
sit down, take a load off
      F             Fs6  F
we'll help you take note of
C       Cs6       C
the people around you now
C             Cs6      C
the ones who will show you how
    G7       G    G7
you doin' my neighbor
G                     G7 G
we'll help you with your la-bors

of love, and life

[short rest]

when life is too sore

and it's now a big bore

and your mind is troubled
         Cs5      C
and your debt has doubled

we'll help you bank note of

the people around you now

Like many of the lyrics to my little ditties, I came up with this in the shower in the morning before hopping the bus to campus. While on the bus, I wrote down what I'd been singing and scribbled down a second verse. Not yet perfect, but it works for me!
