D               E 
The keys are in my pocket 
D              E 
And they rattle you awake 
D            E 
Seventh floor apartment 
D              E 
And a fiery escape 

D                  E           D 
But I'm a wife in watercolors      
            E 
I can wash away 
D                    E 
What seventeen cold showers 
        D         E 
Couldn't wash away 

E        E 
Save me, save me 
E 
Save me from what I want 
E        E 
Save me, save me 
E 
Save me from what I want 
E       E 
Save me, save me 
E 
Save me from what I want 

D            E 
Honey, what reveals you 
       D                 E 
Is what you try and hide away 
D                    E 
And you can tell the planets 
        D           E 
Or your pillowcase 

D                  E           D 
But I'm a wife in watercolors      
            E 
I can wash away 
D                    E 
What seventeen cold showers 
        D         E 
Couldn't wash away 

E 
Save me save me save me from what I want 
E 
Save me save me save me from what I want 
E 
Save me save me save me from what I want 
E 
Save me save me save me from what I want 
E 
Save me save me save me from what I want 
E 
Save me save me save me from what I want
