Save Me

Tom: Em

            C          D          G
Once in a dream I was falling in love
                  Am       B        Em
With someone who looked a lot like you
                 B          D          A
But just as our lips were starting to kiss
   Am              D
I woke up on the floor

                   C           D        G
It's one of those nights for standing around
                Am            B       Em
And talking to people that I hardly know
             B        D          A
An incoming tone came up on my phone
    Am      D
It was an SMS and it said

  G           C              D
"Save me, I think I've had enough of this
 G      C            D
Save me, you are the one who can
 G        C        Cmaj7    D
Save me, take me away from here"

               C             D       G
I look in the room, there's nobody there
                Am           B           Em
And then I saw her with the long blonde hair
               B         D           A
I could not believe the girl in my dream
     Am             D
Was waiting at the door and she said

  G           C              D
"Save me, I think I've had enough of this
 G      C            D
Save me, you are the one who can
 G        C        Cmaj7    D
Save me, take me away from here"

     Bb                                F
Oh, cue a hundred days and nights of special sensuality
       C                             D
Since lady luck came knocking on my door

C D G Am B Em

             B      D          A
An incoming tone is up on my phone
  Am      D
Another SMS and it said

  G           C               D
"Save me, I think I'm getting out of it
 G      C           D
Save me, no doubt about it
 G        C          Cmaj7    D
Save me, let's get away from here"

  G     C D G     C D G     C D G
"Save me,  save me,  save me,  save me
 C          Cmaj7    D
Let's get away from here
Take me away from here
                         F Em C D G
Let's get away from here"
