Berikut ini lirik dan chord lagu “Helplessness Blues” dari Fleet Foxes:

[Verse 1]
E
I was raised up believing
              A
I was somehow unique
               B
Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes
   A                                          E
Unique in each way you can see

[Verse 2]
E
And now after some thinking
     A
I'd say I'd rather be
       B
A functioning cog in some great machinery
   A                                         E
Serving something beyond me

[Chorus]
E                                                            A
But I don't, I don't know what that will be
           E                                        A              E
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see

[Verse 3]
E
What's my name, what's my station
              A
Oh just tell me what I should do
             B
I don't need to be kind to the armies of night
                   A                                E
That would do such injustice to you

[Verse 4]
E
Or bow down and be grateful
                 A
And say "Sure take all that you see"
              B
To the men who move only in dimly-lit halls
         A                                      E
And determine my future for me

[Chorus]
E                                                      A
And I don't, I don't know who to believe
           E                                   A                    E
I'll get back to you someday soon you will see

[Verse 6]
E
If I know only one thing
               A
It's that every thing that I see
             B
Of the world outside is so inconceivable
A                             E
Often I barely can speak

Yeah I'm tongue tied and dizzy
            A
And I can't keep it to myself
            B
What good is it to sing helplessness blues?
                  A                              E
Why should I wait for anyone else?

[Chorus]
E                                                                      A
And I know, I know you will keep me on the shelf
                E                                  A        E
I'll come back to you someday soon myself

[Short Instrumental]
E
