Trade Mistakes

          G                   
Placing a smile at the perfect 
 A
event,
              D                    
Gracing your skin with the side of 
       Bm
my hand,
             G                   
If I ever leave, I could learn to 
           A
miss you,
                D               
But sentimental boy as my nom de 
      Bm
plume.
G              A  D            Bm
Let me save you, hold this rope.

Chorus:

G      A       D       Bm
I may never sleep tonight,
G             A            D    
As long as you're still burning 
        Bm
bright,
G                 A
If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
D                Bm
Count me away before you sleep,
G                         A
I'll still wait 'til I trade my 
mistakes
D                 Bm
So they fade away.

             G             A
I feel marooned in this body,
           D                   
Deserted my organs, could go on 
           Bm
without me,
           G                A
You can't fly these wings,
          D                        
You can't sleep in this box with 
Bm
me,

G             A   D             Bm
Let me save you, hold this rope.

G      A      D       Bm

As long as you're still burning

If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
D                 Bm
Count me away before you sleep,

I'll still wait 'til I trade my 
mistakes
D                 Bm
So they fade away.

Bridge:

    G        A        D        Bm
So let me save you, hold this rope,
And I'll pull you in,
       G        A     D
'Cause I am an anchor, save her,
Bm
Oh, I feel it sinking in,
G            A   D            Bm
Let me save you, hold this rope,
G          A   D            Bm
I am an anchor sinking her.
(ho, oh, oh, oh)

(no guitar)
I may never sleep tonight,
As long as you're still burning 
bright.
