SAVE MY SOUL by Jars of Clay
Intro: Bm A D A
VERSE 1
Em Bm G D
I get off the couch and try to defend the ways that I measure right
Em Bm
But I'm a mouse on a wheel, I'll toil and steal
G D
It's the same by the day or night
Em Bm
You see, the girls want the boys, the boys go to work
G D
Some things will never change
Em Bm
But we shoot for the moon, we target the stars
G D
But we're always so out of range
CHORUS
G F#m D A
'Cause it'll never save my soul, never save my soul

But I try and I try and I tryyyy
