Intro: E
Verse
[E]If the sun for[G#]gets to shine, can [Bm]you just [C#]deal with [F#m]candlelight for [B]two?
[B]Oh, I hope that will [E]do.
So [E]if your mocking[G#]bird don't sing, can [Bm]you just [C#]love it [F#m]for its wings?
[B]Please do. Oh, Stella, what could I [E]do?
Chorus
[A]So when you asked me [B]on the phone, "[E]Can I just help myself?"
[E/D#](I can't help myself.)
[A]Stella, I [B]lost my [E]way.
So if you need to lay your head, then I can make room right beside my bed.
Do you mind the floor instead?
So as your mocking bird takes flight, the sun forgets to shine its light on you.
Oh, Stella, what could I do?
Transition: E E/D#
Bridge
[C#]And if you need me, you know I'll run, run, [E]run.
(Stella, you're on your own. Stella, you're on your own.)
[C#]When you know I'm leavin', baby, you'll know I'm gone, gone, go-gone, gone,
[E]gone.
(Stella, you're on your own. Stella, you're on your own.)
[C#]And in the evening, you're gonna think I'm [A]home but know you're [B]alone.
E (for two bars)
So when you ask me on the phone, "Can I just help myself?"
(I can't help myself.)
Stella, I lost my way.
(Stella, you're on your own. Stella, you're on your own.)
