D G A D
The first time that I saw you, you were so lonesome you could cry,
D G A D
And I wanted to rescue you, I’m just that kinda guy,

I promised you the world and said “I’ll catch you if you fall”,
Bm E G Asus4 A
But you were proud and strong, needed no rescuing at all.

I followed you and took my chance: I offered you a drink,
Bm E G Asus4 A
But when we started dancing we were always out of sync.

I was the needy one, the greedy one, I fell for it again.
