Intro G A D Bm
G A
Placing a smile at the perfect event,
D Bm
Gracing your skin with the side of my hand,
G A
If I ever leave, I could learn to miss you,
D Bm
But sentimental boy as my nom de plume.
G A D Bm
Let me save you, hold this rope.
CHORUS:
G A D Bm
I may never sleep tonight,
G A D Bm
As long as you're still burning bright,
G A
If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
D Bm
Count me away before you sleep,
G A
I'll still wait 'til I trade my mistakes
D Bm
So they fade away.
BACK TO INTRO: G A D Bm
G A
I feel marooned in this body,
D Bm
Deserted my organs, could go on without me,
G A
You can't fly these wings,
D Bm
You can't sleep in this box with me,
G A D Bm
Let me save you, hold this rope.
CHORUS:
G A D Bm
I may never sleep tonight,
G A D Bm
As long as you're still burning bright,
G A
If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
D Bm
Count me away before you sleep,
G A
I'll still wait 'til I trade my mistakes
D Bm
So they fade away.
BRIDGE:
G A D Bm
So let me save you, hold this rope,
And I'll pull you in,
G A D
'Cause I am an anchor, save her,
Bm
Oh, I feel it sinking in,
G A D Bm
Let me save you, hold this rope,
G A D Bm
I am an anchor sinking her.
(ho, oh, oh, oh)
(no guitar)
I may never sleep tonight,
As long as you're still burning bright.
G A
If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
D Bm
Count me away before you sleep,
G A
I'll still wait 'til I trade my mistakes
D Bm
So they fade away.
