Intro:
Dm Am C G   x2



Verse:
Am          C                          G
You leave a trail of my broken tears,

Empty words for me to fall,
Am               C                     G
Broadway at dark is where you left my heart,

Love is cursed in a bar,

Am                  C                  G
Now I can't get up, Now I can't get down

With all the games that you play,
Am             C                       G
You shut me up and you shut me out,

It's all the same, nothing's changed,

Pre-Chorus:
F                    G
Got me on the ledge where you keep me waiting,
Am                           C
Standing on the edge and I'm begging, begging,
F                                G                   Am     G
I can't read your mind, won't you help me draw the line?

Chorus:
        Dm           Am
Save my life, set me free,
             C                   G
These lonely nights are haunting me,
       Dm           Am
Cut me out from the cold,
           C                G
This young heart is getting old,
        Dm           Am
Save my life, set me free,
       C           G
Yes or no is all I need,
          Dm       Am              C
You don't want me, darling, let me know,

C  G/B      
Just say goodbye and I'll go,

Interlude:
Am C    G

Verse:
Am            C                  G
You're taking more than you even need,
              
See, you just keep me hard-up,
Am                C                   G
Watch the minutes stare, they pass me by,
                
Watch the hours flare, push the throttle,

Pre-Chorus:
F                   G
Got me on the ledge where you keep me waiting,
Am                           C
Standing on the edge and I'm begging, begging,
F                                G               Am     G
I can't read your mind, won't you help me draw the line?

Chorus:
        Dm           Am
Save my life, set me free,
             C                   G
These lonely nights are haunting me,
       Dm           Am
Cut me out from the cold,
           C                G
This young heart is getting old,
        Dm           Am
Save my life, set me free,
       C           G
Yes or no is all I need,
          Dm       Am              C
You don't want me, darling, let me know,
  C   G/B
Just say goodbye and I'll go,

Bridge:
         Dm
You hold on to me,
         F
You hold on to me,
         G
You hold on to me,

I try to fight it,

     Dm
Hold on to me,
         Am
You hold on to me,
         G
You hold on to me,

It just ain't right,
       F
I hold on to you,
     G
Hold on to you,
       Am
I hold on to you,
       C
Make up your mind,
       F
I hold on to you,
     G
Hold on to you,
     Dm
Hold on to you,
   
I ain't got time,

Chorus:
        Dm           Am
Save my life, set me free,
             C                   G
These lonely nights are haunting me,
       Dm           Am
Cut me out from the cold,
           C                G
This young heart is getting old,
        Dm           Am
Save my life, set me free,
       C           G
Yes or no is all I need,
          Dm       Am              C
You don't want me, darling, let me know,
   C   G/B               Am C   G
Just say goodbye and I'll go,
                          Dm(hold)
Just say goodbye and I'll go.
