C (2) G (2) 4x
Verse 1:
[C]Cigarettes and a [G]lighter,
[C]Lonely woman swinging [G]door,
[C]Broken pieces of a [G]broken love affair,
I [C]guess we've seen all that [D]before.
[C]Tonight she stares to the [G]darkness,
[C]Welcomes it back home a[G]gain.
[C]She'll cry every night til the [G]day that she dies
If [Am]she don't find out h[C]ow to l[D]et love in[G].
Chorus 1:
[C]I need some[D]body to s[G]ave me,
[C]I need to [D]learn how to f[G]ly.
A [C]walk on the c[D]louds with the a[G]ngels,
[C]Laugh when the d[D]evil c[G]ries.
[C]I've got to t[D]ake my c[G]hances,
[C]Spend my n[D]ights in w[G]ild romances and [C]hold on to w[D]hat's
[Am]Holdin' [D]on to [G]me.
Repeat 1/2 Intro
Verse 2:
[C]Now doesn't this all s[G]eem familiar,
You s[C]aid I took the words f[G]rom your mouth.
[C]Maybe if we sit and t[G]alk for awhile,
[C]We just might work it all [D]out.
And the h[C]ardest thing about l[G]eavin' is
[C]Knowing when a friend is a f[G]riend.
A [C]couple more drinks and I[G]'ll be on my way,
[Am]Sleeping and down, s[C]afe in your a[D]rms a[G]gain.
