GADBm
[Verse]
GA
Placing a smile at the perfect event,
DBm
Gracing your skin with the side of my hand,
GA
If I ever leave, I could learn to miss you,
DBm
But sentimental boy is my nom de plume.
GADA
Let me save you, hold this rope.
[Chorus]
GADBm
I may never sleep tonight,
GADBm
As long as you're still burning bright,
GA
If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
DBm
Count me away before you sleep,
GA
I'll stay awake 'til I trade my mistakes
DBm
Or they fade away.
[Instrumental]
GADBm
[Verse]
GA
I feel marooned in this body,
DBm
Deserted, my organs could go on without me,
GA
You can't fly these wings,
DBm
You can't sleep in this box with me,
GADA
Let me save you, hold this rope.
[Chorus]
GADBm
I may never sleep tonight,
GADBm
As long as you're still burning bright,
GA
If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
DBm
Count me away before you sleep,
GA
I'll stay awake 'til I trade my mistakes
DBm
Or they fade away.
[Bridge]
F#mG
So let me save you
AD
Hold this rope and I'll pull you in
F#mG
'Cause I am an anchor
AD
Save her or feel it sinking in
F#mGAD
Let me save you, hold this rope
(This is only the greatest story ever told)
F#mGAD
I am an anchor, sinking her
(With lightning in my head to be brought to the world)
[Chorus]
GADBm
I may never sleep tonight
GADBm
As long as you're still burning bright
GA
If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
DBm
Count me away before you sleep,
GA
I'll stay awake 'til I trade my mistakes
DBm
Or they fade away.
