 Verse (chords on first two lines implied by guitar/bass riffs above):

                   (Fm)                                 (Bb)
         Girl, you thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last
             (Fm)      (Bb)
             night
                      (Fm)                       (Bb)
         But when you wake up in the mornin' the world still gets you
               (Fm)     (Bb)
             uptight
                  Db
         Well, here's nothin' that you ain't tried
             Fm            /E    /Eb   /D
         To fill the emptiness inside
              Db
         But when you come back down, girl
                               C
         Still ain't feelin' right

 Chorus:

         [1,2,4:  And don't it seem like]
          Ab                      Db
         Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
                         [3, 4: Oh, you don't need kicks, girl]
                       Ab                  Db
         And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
                         [3, 4: You just need help, girl]
                     Ab
         Before you find out it's too late, girl
                          C
         You better get straight

 Link (over intro guitar/bass riffs, 2X):

                           (Fm)      (Bb)
         No, but not with kicks
                       (Fm)        (Bb)
         You just need help, girl

 Verse 2:

         Well you think you're gonna find yourself a little piece of
             paradise
         But it ain't happened yet, so girl, you better think twice
         Don't you see no matter what you do
         You'll never run away from you
         And if you keep on runnin'
         You'll have to pay the price

 [repeat chorus]

 Bridge:

                             F
         No, you don't need kicks
                      Dm 
         To help you face the world each day
                        Bb
         That road goes nowhere
                    C
         I'm gonna help you find yourself another way

 [repeat chorus 2X; fade second time]
