Save the Afternoon (radio edit version, itunes) 2011
Capo 1st fret standard tuning

Am
There are lines that we set up
         C
As you and I become us
                               G                    F                       
When we start, there is less struggle when theyre crossed.
        Am
But on days already rough
                 C
The lines get close enough to touch
                           G                 Fm
And the smallest movement sets all the alarms off
           Am                    G        F         G
What takes so long to find can easily get lost    

C              G              Am   F 
Well I cant figure out what to do
C                  G                      Fm
Is there still time left to save the afternoon?
C                       G         Am    F
Before we say something that isnt true
C                           G             Fm
Is there still time left to save the afternoon?
 
Am
Ive said things that I regret, 
C
some after days, some after breakfast
                        G               F
And I know my pride can get the best of me.
    Am                              C
But this is not some massive fire, destroying fields hour by hour
                   G                     Fm
But it burns me up again when you leave angry
Am                      G              F     G
So before you go please listen to my plead.

C            G          Am      F
Well I cant figure out what to do
C                        G                  Fm
Is there still time left to save the afternoon?
C                       G          Am      F
Before we say something that isnt true
C                   G                    Fm         Am      
Is there still time left to save the afternoon?

Am
Save us from the silent treatments
C               
Save us from the separate sleepin
                               G                Fm
Save us from the thought that this could be the end.
Am
Hope in making the first move
                C
Catch you thinking that same thing too
                               G             Fm
That you crack that smile then we can start again
Am                   G         F       G           
Lets use tonight to make our amends

C             G             Am  F
Well I can?t figure out what to do
C                           G             Fm
Is there still time left to save the afternoon?
C                        G         Am  F
Before we say something that isnt true
C                   G                   Fm
