save you if you start drowning In an open tab when
     F
your judgement's on the brink

C               C
    I'll be the phonograph that
Em                  Am                   F
plays your favorite Albums back as your lying there
F                  G     Em
drifting off to sleep... Drifting off to sleep...

C               C
    I'll be the platform shoes and

undo what heredity's done to you... You won't have to strain
   F
to look into my eyes

C                C
    I'll be your winter coat
Em                           Am                       F
buttoned and zipped straight to the throat With the collar up so
F
you won't catch a cold
