           G#                   A#
Placing a smile at the perfect event,
              D#                      Cm
Gracing your skin with the side of my hand,
           G#                           A#
If I ever leave, I could learn to miss you,
                D#                Cm
But sentimental boy is my nom de plume.

G#      A#       Gm         A#
Let me save you, hold this rope.

Chorus:
Cm            G#       D#
I may never sleep tonight,
Cm                       G#          D#
As long as you're still burning bright.
  Cm
If I could trade mistakes for sheep,
G#               D#
Count me away before you sleep.
Cm
I'll stay awake till I trade my mistakes
         G#    D#
Or they fade away

I feel marooned in this body
Deserted, my organs can go on without me
You can't fly these wings (Fly these wings)
You can't sleep in this box with me

Let me save you, hold this rope

Chorus

   Gm      G#
So let me save you
 A#        D#
Hold this rope and I'll pull you in
       Gm      G#
'Cause I am an anchor
 A#       D#
Save her or feel it sinking in
Gm     G#         A#        D#
Let me save you, hold this rope
Gm      G#       A#      D#
I am an anchor, sinking her

Chorus:
I may never sleep tonight
As long as you're still burning bright
If I could trade mistakes for sheep
Count me away before you sleep
So, I'll stay awake till I trade my mistakes
So they fade away
