Intro:          

                                            
Oh you're breaking my spirit and you're hurting my ears
                                 
Little darling, when I hold you close 
                                        
You have laid in my bed since the day we were wed
                                     
But when you're sleeping, I like you the most 


                                         
Cause your voice is a needle on a record that's broke
                                   
The only one, babe, that you ever play 
                                                  
And these days it skips more, and it was not that good before
                           
Oh, Lord, help me love you, babe 
                          
Oh, Lord, help me love you, babe 


                                         
Well, long ago, I was foolish, long ago, I was young 
                                 
You were a waitress on Route Thirteen 
                                       
I was hungry for eggs, back then you had nice legs
                     
And the rest is just histo-ry 


                                       
Now your voice is a needle on a record that's broke
                                   
The only one, babe, that you ever play 
                                                  
And these days it skips more, and it was not that good before
                           
Oh, Lord, help me love you, babe 
                          
Oh, Lord, help me love you, babe

 
/                                  
Through thick and thin, that's the way that we swore
    /                                
But you ain’t been thin since the children were born 
                                     
Oh, Lord, how I try, yeah, you know that I do
                    
But it ain't easy loving you
 

                                         
Cause your voice is a needle on a record that's broke
                                   
The only one, babe, that you ever play 
                                                  
And these days it skips more, and it was not that good before
                           
Oh, Lord, help me love you, babe 
                          
Oh, Lord, help me love you, babe 
                          
Oh, Lord, help me love you, babe 



That's it. This is one of her more easy songs.
Listen to the song for strumming and the 
hammer-on on Em7 in the chorus...
