G                       Am
Just like two freight trains in a late night storm
           Em 
Through a blinding rain
         C   
In the freezing cold
         G
On the long way home
        Am                   C
We're screaming through the dark

      G               Am
We are cigarettes and gasoline
   Em                      C
I caught on fire when you came to me
        G                  Am            C
Like a deep red wine casts darkness on my dreams

Am                              D
   You're the first thing on my mind
Am                              D
   You're the first thing on my mind

          G        Am     Em
Won't you save me from myself
          G        Am     Em
Won't you save me from myself
 
          G             C
Oh please open up your eyes
          Am              D
Help me clear my clouded mind.
          Am                  C           D
Won't you tell me that we're gonna be alright
                 G
Please save me tonight

       G                 Am               Em                C
There's photographs from far away of some people I thought I'd escaped
          G         Am
But if you can't go home
                  C
Well where can you go

         G               Am                Em
Sometimes memories like cheap perfume can shake your head
      C                  G              Am                C
And change your view so I choose to forget and sit right here with you

Am                              D
   You're the first thing on my mind
Am                              D
   You're the first thing on my mind

          G        Am     Em
Won't you save me from myself
          G        Am     Em
Won't you save me from myself
 
          G             C
Oh please open up your eyes
          Am              D
Help me clear my clouded mind.
          Am                  C           D
Won't you tell me that we're gonna be alright
                 G    Am   Em
Please save me tonight
                 G    Am   Em
Please save me tonight

Am                   G                    D
   Our time may run out so let's count on now
              C          Em          Am
You can just keep those headlights on
                   G                   D
The daylight will fade but don't turn away

           G                       Am
Just like two freight trains in a late night storm
            Em
Through a blinding rain
          C
In the freezing cold
        G
On the long way home
         Am                 D
We're screaming through the dark

           G       Am    Em
Won't you save me from myself
           G       Am    Em
Won't you save me from myself

          G             C
Oh please open up your eyes
          Am              D
Help me clear my clouded mind.
          Am                  C           D
Won't you tell me that we're gonna be alright
                 G    Am   Em
Please save me tonight
                 G    Am   Em
Please save me tonight
                 G
Please save me tonight
