Intro:

Am  F  C  G  
Am  F  C  G  

                         Am 
How do I save you from a fate so sweet 
                             F C    G 
As being torn to pieces by a loving hand 
                         Am 
How do I save you from a voice so soft 
                            F    C    G 
As that which acquiesces to your each demand 
                       Am 
How do I look upon the eyes I love 
                                F       C     G 
And send them down this path, I know it isn’t right 
                     Am 
How do I make you realize my love 
                                F         C      G 
That there is more to fear than strangers in the night 

  

[Refrão]
C   G    F    G 
How do I save you 
C   G    F       G 
How do I set you free 
Am         C               F      G 
Behind the curtain waits a darker world 
           C        G 
If I can’t make you leave 
          F        G    Am 
How can I save you from me 

Am  F  C  G 

                          Am 
I think you’ve had enough experience 
                         F C        G 
To differentiate between a heart of gold 
                            Am 
And what you cradle in your gentle arms 
                        F    C       G 
Can you not recognize a soul already sold 
                           Am 
How do I save you from the things I’ve been 
                            F       C     G 
I can’t deny the past, it’s written on my face 
                           Am 
How do I save you from the mess you’re in 
                      F          C         G 
When I can’t make you leave this torturous embrace
