  B5 E5 B5 E5

  Verse
B5                    E5                           
  Crack my head open   on your kitchen floor
B5                      E5                         
  To prove to you that I have brains
B5                   E5                             
  Meanwhile tin men   are led by little girls
B5                         E5                      
  Down golden roads that lead to nowhere

   Chorus  
C#5              
A5               A5                        
        Fine time to fake a seizure
C#5                    A5                        
   Feel your mouth on mine, 
B5
   You're saving me

B5                   E5                            
  Whatever happened   to that silly dream you had?
B5                        E5                       
  I want to make it real   I'd love to rub your back
B5                         E5                      
  Like a plane crash that   never hits the ground
B5                             E5                  
  I fall in love with you I'm   nose over tail for you

   Chorus
C#5
A5                      A5    
  Your voice like the sound of sirens 
C#5              A5
  To a house on fire
B5                                               
  You're saving me
