[Chorus]
          F#
Maybe I'm free-falling
          F#/F   A#m
Maybe I'm out of time
            D#m7
Tell me I'm worth
     C#add11  Bsus2
something
              F#
Maybe they're right
about me
           F#/F    A#m
Maybe I've lost my mind
     D#m7  C#add11
Only you    give me
the wings to fly
Bsus2          C#
 Why don't you save
me from myself tonight?

[Verse]
F#
 You know Jenny down
     A#m              D#m7
the road's got a new love
F#                 A#m
 And Jimmy got the job
                  D#m7
like you said he would
F#                     A#m
 Let's see how long it lasts
 'cause we know what
         D#m7
they're like

I'm falling through the
 Bsus2
cracks as I watch the
       C#add11  D#m7
 world go by
With my head against the
 Bsus2                C#add11
glass like a jealous guy

[Chorus]
          F#
Maybe I'm free-falling
          F#/F   A#m
Maybe I'm out of time
            D#m7
Tell me I'm worth
      C#add11  Bsus2
something
              F#
Maybe they're right about me
           F#/F    A#m
Maybe I've lost my mind
     D#m7  C#add11
Only you    give me
the wings to fly
Bsus2          C#add11
 Why don't you save me
               D#m7
from myself tonight?
C#add11  F#  C#add11

 Why don't you save me
               D#m7
 from myself tonight?
