lyrics from reprint of 1967 sheet music
I [Em]know about the [D]guy who treated [C]you so bad[B7]
He [Em]took your love and [D]then just walked a[E]way[E7]
I [Am]know that you have [D7]got
A [G]reason to be [Em]sad
But [Am]help
Is [D7]on its [G]way
So [Bm]hold [G7]on [Cmaj7]girl
Be a little bit stronger
Hold on girl
Wait a little bit longer
Hold on girl[Am7][D7]
Help is [A7]on [C]its [B7]way
I [Em]know you feel as [D]though your world is [C]at an end[B7]
But [Em]you don't have to [D]live with yester[E]day[E7]
I [Am]promise you the [D7]sun
Is [G]gonna shine a[Em]gain
And [Am]help
Is [D7]on its [G]way
So [Bm]hold [G7]on [Cmaj7]girl
Now that we are together
Hold on girl
Things are gonna be better
Hold on girl[Am7][D7]
Help is [A7]on [C]its [B7]way[Em]
I [Em]know about the [D]guy who treated [C]you so bad[B7]
