Am                       Fmaj7 
You, you're wasting my time
 D                Am
We're making music, we're doing fine
        Fmaj7                     G6                  Am
Then a slap in the face takes me back to the starting line
                        Fmaj7 
You, you're wasting my life
 D                         Am
You can't lose what you've already lost
 Fmaj7                       G6 
Your arms are open but your legs are crossed

Chorus:
Am        G   Am C           D             Am
Save me, save me, I'm going down for the third time
Save me, save me, Somebody throw me my next line

A                  E   D   A                   E  D
Too hot for me to handle, so cold I'm getting nowhere
 A                       E  D     A                 E    D
Pinch me to see if I'm sleeping, maybe it's only a nightmare

You, why did it have to be you?
Of all those girls I had to choose, you win and I lose
You, you with the poisonous eyes
One look and I'm hooked, one touch and my goose is cooked

Chorus:
Save me, save me, I'm going down for the third time
Save me, save me, somebody throw me a lifeline

Too late to change partners, too late, you got no chance
Too late to change partners, too late to say I don't dance

You, there's a name for girls like you
You lead me on like a lamb to the slaughter
Then you act like a fish out of water
You, there's a name for girls like you
You're coming on like a steam train
Then you blow me away just like a hurricane

Chorus:
Save me, save me, I'm going down for the last time
Save me, save me, somebody throw me a lifeline
Save me, I'm falling from the top of the page to the next line
Save me, I'm burning from the tip of my toes to my hairline

Too hot for me to handle, so cold I'm getting nowhere
Pinch me to see if I'm sleeping, maybe it's only a nightmare
