[Verse 1]
                D
Won't you take me inside?
              Dm             Am
Cos' it's been raining for so long
                     D
I've been walking for miles
         Dm                Am
Down this road dark and cold
C                         G
 I thought I never would find my way
    D              Am        Am
Then you came on so strong
               D
Take me where I belong

[Chorus]
  Am    G     D
I'm down on my knees
D                 Am  G  D
Won't you save me tonight?
   Am          G          D
I'm begging you darling, please
D                 Am  G  D
Won't you save me tonight?

N.C.
Won't you save me tonight?

[Interlude]
Am G D

[Verse 2]
Am                 D
 Take a look in my eyes
         Dm             Am
There you find a lonely soul
                       D
I've been playing with fire
      Dm                 Am
And my heart keeps getting burned
C                      G
 Still the voice of temptation
        D                   Am
Whispers come on - lose control
Am               D
 I can make it alone

[Chorus]
  Am    G     D
I'm down on my knees
D                 Am  G  D
Won't you save me tonight?
   Am          G          D
I'm begging you darling, please
D                 Am  G  D
Won't you save me tonight?

Am        G     D
 I'm down on my knees
D        Am  G  D
 Save me tonight!

[Bridge]
 F        C               G            
 Poisoned by the darkness lost in desperation
 F      C                    G            D
 Riding in your arms tonight be my one salvation
 Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Instrumental]

[Refrain]
                  D
Won't you take me inside?
              Dm             Am
Cause it's been raining for so long
                     D
I've been walking for miles
         Dm                 Am
Down this road, Down this road

[Chorus]
  Am    G     D
I'm down on my knees
D                 Am  G  D
Won't you save me tonight?
   Am          G          D
I'm begging you darling, please
D                 Am  G  D
Won't you save me tonight?

  Am    G     D
I'm down on my knees
D              Am  G  D
Save me tonight!
   Am          G          D
I'm begging you darling, please
D                 Am  G  D
Save me tonight! Oooh, oh ooh!
D                 Am  G  D
Save me, save me tonight!

[Outro]
         D
Take me in
                 Dm           Am
Cause it's been raining for so long
                D
Help me find my way in
    Dm                 Am
This whole world's gone wrong
             Am  G D
Save me tonight!
