Intro: G 
  
  
Save the night 
   C                D 
If I could find the feeling 
        G 
I could save the light 
     C                D 
That lit our nights before 
  C                D 
Before we knew the reason 
  
Saving nights were for 
  
  
  
Save the light 
    C                  D 
The light that made us sure 
     C               G 
We'd never find that light 
       D 
At any other door 
  
  
C 
Overdone 
                                       D 
I'm sure the song I'm singing has been sung 
  
But I'm gonna sing it again 
  
Save the past, 'cause the future's a question 
  
  
C 
On your own 
  
Remember, when you are alone 
     D 
It's great 
       
This feeling of being secure 
  
But I always thought there'd be more 
  
But I always thought there'd be more 
  
  
   G 
To save the life 
      C                G 
While you were playing husband 
  
I will play the wife 
        C                D 
But sometimes I'll slip away 
        C                    G          D 
I'll pretend that it all can go another way 
    C                D 
Sometimes I'll slip away 
        C 
I'll pretend life 
    G                D 
And dream that I can save the day 
  
  
G 
Save the night 
C        D     G 
Da da da da da da
