Em                       D
I always thought I could fall from a height, land on my feet,
Em                   D
Now I'm considering throwing in the towel, admitting defeat,

G              A
Just like the Four Tops
D
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
G     A
I~~~~~~~~~~~~~
D
I can't help myself
I can't help myself

Em (strum once)

Em                       D
Nothing worth finding is easily found, try as we might
Em                         D
That was supposed to sound very profound, it probably sounds dry
G             A
Just like the Four Tops
D
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
G   A
I~~~~~~~~~~~~~
D
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
Em (strum once)
Myself myself myself

G             A
Just like the Four Tops
D
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
G   A
I~~~~~~~~~~~
D
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
G   A
I~~~~~~~~~~~
D
I can't help myself
I can't help myself

(Guitar Solo)

(No more guitar from here on, although chords alternate between Em and D)

I felt I had to tell the world
About you
I felt I had to tell the world
About you
Yes I felt I had to tell the world
Tell the world
Tell the world
I can't help myself
Tell the world
Tell the world
Tell the world about you, baby
I can't help myself
Tell the world
Tell the world
C'mon c'mon c'mon
C'mon c'mon c'mon
I can't help myself
I can't help myself
Tell the world
Tell the world
I can't help myself
