                  Em
I wonder how you sleep,
                    D
I wonder what you think of me,
              Am
If I could go back,
                     Em        D
Would you have ever been with me.
                 Em
I want you to be unused,
              B7
I want you to remember,
            G
I want you to believe in me,
   Am
I want you on my side,
Come on

Chorus:
        Em  C
Lay it down,
     G                 D
I've always been with you,
          Em C
Here and now,
     G                  D
With all that's within you,
       Em    C
Be my saviour,
    G                 D
And I'll be your downfall.
Em    C      G    D
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh

Here we go again
Ashamed of being broken in
We're gettin' off track
I wanna get you back again
I want you to trouble me
I wanted you to linger
I want you to agree with me
I want so much so bad

Chorus

B      C   G  Am
Be my saviour,

Only love can save us now

Only love can save us now

I'll be your downfall
     G                Am Em
Our love can save us now
C              G       D
Oh Lord, love save us now

        Em C
Lay it down,
     G            D
I've always been with you
        Em C
Here me now
     G              D
With all that's within you,
       Em     C
Be my saviour,
    G             D
And I'll be your downfall.
Em    C      G    D
Oh Oh, Oh Oh, Oh Oh

Chorus:
Now I'm back, on my own
Hear my feet, they are made of stone
And I'll make you go, where I go
Well, hell, you, can I take you home?
Now, I'm coming home, on my back
Kissin' me, your lips painted black
Saying, "Woah, oh-oh
Lemme be your downfall
Woah, oh-oh
Lemme be your downfall, baby."
