I Couldnt Save You

[G]  [Em7]  [D]

[G]Wait and see, you’ll believe, when he’s here next to [Em7]me
That’s what I [D]told them
[G]You were my way of trying to prove
The [Em7]power of [D]transforming
[G]You’re outta line, colorblind to the light
But this [Em7]time it will be [D]different
[G]And I just knew, you’d come through like a flower
That [Em7]needs a little [D]nutrition, whoa

[Am]But caring ain’t [C]enough
[D]No matter what you do
[Am]It’s tearing my [C]heart out, [D]cause, whoa

[C]I couldn’t [G]save you
[Am]And I didn’t [D]want to
[C]'Cause I won’t[G] embrace you
To [Am]fabri[D]cate you
[C]You’ve got your [G]mind set
[Am]Don’t compro[Bm]mise it
[C]I’ll wait for the [G]one who won’t make me [Am]sigh and [D]say
I couldn’t [G]save you  [Em7]       [D]

[G]Playing hard, empty bar, in a faraway [Em7]city
I don’t [D]know, well
[G]I don’t know where you are
But I’m singing to [Em7]you tonight,[D] is that all right?
[G]Well you’re a piece of the past
And I can’t keep [Em7]elaborating [D]on us
[G]And I would kill to forget what it is about [Em7]you
That I, I[D] need so much, oh, well

[Am]I gotta [C]remember
[D]No matter what you do
[Am]You’re just a pre[C]tender, [D]oh, well

[C]I couldn’t [G]save you
[Am]And I didn’t [D]want to
[C]'Cause I won’t[G] embrace you
To [Am]fabri[D]cate you
[C]You’ve got your [G]mind set
[Am]Don’t compro[Bm]mise it
[C]I’ll wait for the [G]one who won’t make me [Am]sigh and [D]say
I couldn’t [G]save you  [Em7]       [D]

[C]There’s so many [D]things I should’ve said to [C]you
I’ll let you off [D]easy cause I already [Am]knew
Somebody as [D]stubborn as yourself won’t [C]change
Even if [Cm]that means suffering
[G]Yeah [Em7]

[C]I couldn’t [G]save you
[Am]And I didn’t [D]want to
[C]'Cause I won’t[G] embrace you
To [Am]fabri[D]cate you
[C]You’ve got your [G]mind set
[Am]Don’t compro[Bm]mise it
[C]I’ll wait for the [G]one who won’t make me [Am]sigh and [D]say, oh
[C]I’ll wait for the [G]one who won’t make me [Am]sigh and [D]say, well
[C]I’ll wait for the [G]one who won’t make me [Am]sigh and [D]say
I couldn’t [G]save you,[Em7] oh [D]
I couldn’t [G]save you,[Em7] oh [D]
I couldn't [G]save you [Em7]     [D]          [G]
