Intro: D G F D C D G D C Am D 

Am7 
In the mornings 
I was anxious 
Am          Em      Am     D 
It's better just to stay in bed 
G                  A 
Didn't want to fail myself again 

E G 

D               Am 
Running through all the options 
And the endings 
Were rolling out in front of me 
                        D 
But I couldn't choose a thread to begin 

Am 

D     A 
And I could not love 
Am          D 
Coz I could not love myself 
           Em 
Never good enough, no 
Am       D 
That was all I'd tell myself 
G      Em7 
And I was not well 
D 
But I could not help myself 
I was giving up on living 

Em7 D Am D Em7 D Am Em G Dm 

D 
In the morning 
Am 
You were leaving 
A   Em 
Travelling south again 
Am  D    A      Am    D 
And you said you were not unprepared 

And all the dead ends 
And disappointments 
Am    Em7   Am 
Were fading from your memory 
           A         D         Am 
Ready for that lonely life to end 
D       A      Em7 
And you gave me love 
Am           D 
When I could not love myself 
       G   Em7 
And you made me turn 
Am       D 
From the way I saw myself 
           G 
And you're patient, love 
D 
And you help me help myself 
And you save me 
And you save me 
Yeah you save me
