Intro:

Dm Bb F C 4x


Verse 1:

       F
It was August and I had a ton of problems
       C
A well dressed bum with empty pockets
          F
And to be honest I don't know how I got there
    C
One thing just led to the next
         F                                             C
They say everything that you do in this life there's a heaven or hell
         F                                           C
That you make for yourself and man I've learned that again and again
           F
Thought my ship had sailed I drank myself senseless
           C
Said I was fine, but I never meant it


Chorus:

F
   Then you came to save me
     C
Girl I don't know just how I can thank you
Dm       Bb         F         C   Dm
   We'll lay on the couch all day long
Dm          Bb         F            C      Dm
   With the steel band music on the record player
Dm     Bb       F          C            Dm
   And god only knows what I could have done
Dm       Bb       F        C            Dm
   To deserve you when I'm such a screw up


Verse 2:

     F
Commitment - I've never been much for
    C
I'm so irresponsible I could win awards
    F
And sometimes I won't call for days
  C
I get so spun out I forget my own name
           F                                                   C
But as the sun filters in through the cheap bamboo curtains we hung up with tacks
  F                                                C
I leave you to sleep while I go in and heat frozen pizza for breakfast
     F
Well I got so lost I barely could think
    C
I'd close down the bars I'd wander the street


Chorus

F
   Then you came to save me
     C
Girl I don't know just how I can thank you
Dm       Bb         F         C   Dm
   We'll lay on the couch all day long
Dm          Bb         F            C      Dm
   With the steel band music on the record player
Dm     Bb       F          C            Dm
   And god only knows what I could have done
Dm       Bb       F        C            Dm
   To deserve you when I'm such a screw up

   To deserve you when I'm such a screw up
