Intro: F#  D A E  F#  D A E

          E
Well I got to wake up baby, rise and shine, I got to be to work by a quarter of nine
      A                                                                        E
My buddy's out waitin' and he's honking his horn, my tie's to tight and my pants are torn
F#                                                                   B
Hot cup of coffee runnin' down my shirt, it's so cold outside, I can't tell if it hurts
       E
This life I'm livin' I get carried away, seem to only make it day by day
        A
Nah, I ain't got no money, I never had and I never will
      E
But I got my old guitar up against the window sill
       F#
And if I had to thank the Lord for one thing most of all
     B
I'd thank him for my baby oh so lean and tall

                 E                                                     C          D               E
'Cause she help me (help me) help me (help me) make it through the night
               E                                                     C          D               E
My baby help me (help me) help me (help me) make it through the night


Instrumental: F#  D A E  F#  D A E

           E
I got a PHD in business that I'll probably never use

I spend my nights out drinkin' and singin' the blues
        A
Nah, I don't blame society, it's really not their fault
      E
But some of all the things I hear, I take with a grain of salt
              F#
Through 37 years of life, no I ain't never seen
    B
A woman like the one I've got and she's a living dream
                E
And she's got a lot of reasons for telling me goodbye
                                                                         E7
If I ain't home by 2 o'clock, no she don't ask me why
             A
She just tells me in the morning how much she really cares
       E
She says she's mine in the note I find at the top of the stairs
              F#
And you think that makes me happy, you can take that to the bank
              B
She's the woman in my songs, yea and I've got her to thank

                 E                                                      C         D               E
'Cause she help me (help me) help me (help me) make it through the night
               E                                                     C         D               E
My baby help me (help me) help me (help me) make it through the night
               E                                                     C          D              C       E
My baby help me (help me) help me (help me) make it through the night
