This is the John Farnham version of this song. He does it as a massive power
ballad, which is how the singer in our band likes to play it.

N[C]ow I find, Ive changed my mind, Ive op[D]ened up the door
CHORUS
H[G]elp me if you can Im feeling d[Em]own
And I d[C]o appreciate you being ro[D]und

Wont you pl[C]ease, pl[D]ease help [F]me
VERSE 2
A[G]nd now my life has changed, in [Em]oh so many ways
