   I know your life is empty

   And you hate to face this world alone

   So your searching for an angel

   Someone who can make you whole


   D       E2       F#  F# E A  F#  F# E A
   I cannot save you

   D            E2         F#  F# E A F#  F# E A
   I can't even save myself

  F#       F# E A    F#
   So just save yourself 


   I know that you've been damaged

   Your soul has suffered such abuse

   But I am not your savior

   I am just as ***ed as you...  (I am just as ***ed as you)

   D       E2       F#   F# E A F#  F# E A
   I cannot save you

   D            E2         F#  F# E A  F#   F# E A
   I can't even save myself

 F#     F#  E  A    F#
   So just save yourself

INTERLUDE     PLAY 4 TIMES

   Please don't take pity on me
 

   Please don't take pity on me

   F#                D2       E3       F#2
   Please don't take pity on me     
                                 
   F#                D2       E3                           
   Please don't take pity on me        IM NOT SURE IF THAT IS
                                    RIGHT BUT ITS THE BEST I 
                                     CAN DO FOR NOW...

   My life has been a nightmare

   My soul is fractured to the bone

   So if I must be lonely

   I think I'd rather be alone...

   You can't even save yourself

   D         E2      F#   F# E A  F#   F# E A
   I cannot save you

   D         E2            F#   F#  E A  
   I can't even save myself

  F#   F#  E  A  F#   F#  E A    
   Save yourself

   F#    F#  E A    F#
   So just save yourself


GOOD LUCK
