Intro:
Bmadd11 A G (2x)
Verse:
Bmadd11 A G
Two black lines streaming out like a guidance line
Bmadd11 A G
With one foot on the road now where the cyborgs are driving
Bmadd11 A G
With the WD 40 in their veins
Bmadd11 A G
The screeching little brakes complain
Bmadd11 A Gadd9
With the briefcase empty and the holes in my shoes
Bmadd11 A Gadd9
I try to stay friendly through the sugary abuse
Bmadd11 A Gadd9
Tell my secretary now to hold all my calls
Bmadd11 A Gadd9
I believe I can hear through these walls.
Chorus:
G A Dmaj7
Oh please save me
G E
Save me from myself
A Dmaj7 G E
I can't be the only one stuck on the shelf
A Dmaj7 G E A Dmaj7 G G/F# E
You said you'd always fall for the un-der-dog (ah-hhhhh-hhh...)
Bmadd11 A G (2x)
Verse 2:
Bmadd11 A Gadd9
Well I've been dreaming of jetstreams and kicking up dust
Bm... A Gadd9
A 37 thousand foot wanderlust
Bmadd11 A Gadd9
With skyline number I kicked off in my mind
Bmadd11 A
Can you hear me screaming out now
Gadd9
through the telephone lines
Chorus:
G A Dmaj7
Oh please save me
G E
Save me from myself
A Dmaj7 G E
I can't be the only one stuck on the shelf
A Dmaj7 G E A Dmaj7 G G/F# E
You said you'd always fall for the un-der-dog (ah-hhhhh-hhhhh...)
Bmadd11 A G(add9) (4x)

Save me...

Save me...
