[Intro]
C (2) G (2) 4x
[Verse 1]
C G
Cigarettes and a lighter,
C G
Lonely woman swinging door,
C G
Broken pieces of a broken love affair,
C D
I guess we've seen all that before.
C G
Tonight she stares to the darkness,
C G
Welcomes it back home again.
C G
She'll cry every night til the day that she dies
Am C D G
If she don't find out how to let love in.
[Chorus 1]
C D G
I need somebody to save me,
C D G
I need to learn how to fly.
C D G
A walk on the clouds with the angels,
C D G
Laugh when the devil cries.
C D G
I've got to take my chances,
C D G C D
Spend my nights in wild romances and hold on to what's
Am D G
Holdin' on to me.
[Verse 2]
C G
Now doesn't this all seem familiar,
C G
You said I took the words from your mouth.
C G
Maybe if we sit and talk for awhile,
C D
We just might work it all out.
C G
And the hardest thing about leavin' is
C G
Knowing when a friend is a friend.
C G
A couple more drinks and I'll be on my way,
Am C D G
Sleeping and down, safe in your arms again.
