                         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

Chorus:
 
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
