  Intro
  B E B E

  Verse
B                    E                           
  Crack my head open   on your kitchen floor
B                      E                         
  To prove to you that I have brains
B                   E                             
  Meanwhile tin men   are led by little girls
B                         E                      
  Down golden roads that lead to nowhere

   Chorus  
C#m              
A               Am7                        
        Fine time to fake a seizure
C#m                    A                        
   Feel your mouth on mine, 
B
   You're saving me

  Verse
  B E B E
B                   E                            
  Whatever happened   to that silly dream you had?
B                        E                       
  I want to make it real   I'd love to rub your back
B                         E                      
  Like a plane crash that   never hits the ground
B                             E                  
  I fall in love with you I'm   nose over tail for you

   Chorus
C#m
A                      Am7    
  Your voice like the sound of sirens 
C#m              A
  To a house on fire
B                                               
  You're saving me
