Capo 1
Intro
[C] [Dm] [F] ([C/E])
[C] [Dm] [Em] [F] ([C/E])
Verse
[C] [Dm] [F] ([C/E])
So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes
[C] [Dm] [Em] [F] ([C/E])
No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight
[C] [Dm] [Em] [F]
So deep in the swill with the most familiar of swine
[Dm] [F] [C]
For reasons wretched and divine
[C] [Dm] [F] ([C/E])
She blows out of nowhere roman candle of the wild
[C] [Dm] [Em] [F] ([C/E])
Laughing away through my feeble disguise
[C] [Dm] [Em] [F]
No other version of me I would rather be tonight
[Dm] [F] [C]
And lord she found me just in time
Pre-Chorus
[Am] [E] [F]
Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
[Bb] [Bb] [B] [C]
I need to be youthfully felt 'cause god I never felt young
Chorus
[C] [Dm] [F] ([C/E])
She's gonna save me, call me 'baby', run her hands through my hair
[C] [Dm] [F]
She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily, better yet she wouldn't care
[Am] [G] [Em] [F] ([C/E])
We'll steal a Lexus, be detectives, ride 'round picking up clues
[C] [Dm] [F]
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson, raise 'em on rhythm and blues
Verse
[C] [Dm] [F] ([C/E])
Lord it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime
[C] [Dm] [Em] [F] ([C/E])
Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine
[C] [Dm] [Em] [F]
Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside
[Dm] [F] [C]
Sit back and watch the world go by
Pre-Chorus
[Am] [E] [F]
Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust
[Bb] [Bb] [B] [C]
We tried the world good god it wasn't for us
Chorus
[C] [Dm] [F] ([C/E])
She's gonna save me, call me 'baby', run her hands through my hair
[C] [Dm] [F]
She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily, better yet she wouldn't care
[Am] [G] [Em] [F] ([C/E])
We'll steal a Lexus, be detectives, ride 'round picking up clues
[C] [Dm] [F]
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson, raise 'em on rhythm and blues

Verse
[C] [Dm] [F] ([C/E])
Cut clean from the dream at night let my mind reset
[C] [Dm] [F] ([C/E])
Lookin' up from a cigarette and she's already left
[C] [Dm] [Em] [F]
I start diggin' up the yard for what's left of me and our little vignette
[Dm] [F] [C]
For whatever poor soul is coming next
Chorus
[C] [Dm] [F] ([C/E])
She's gonna save me, call me 'baby', run her hands through my hair
[C] [Dm] [F]
She'll know me crazy, soothe me daily, better yet she wouldn't care
[Am] [G] [Em] [F] ([C/E])
We'll steal a Lexus, be detectives, ride 'round picking up clues
[C] [Dm] [F]
We'll name our children Jackie and Wilson, raise 'em on rhythm and blues
