        CHANGE CHORDS, BY PUTTING THE CHORD NAME OVER THE LYRICS


 INTRO... AND PART OF THE CHORUS.  THE CHORUS CONSISTS OF A D
          THEN AN E, THEN THAT INTRO RIFF.  WHEN YOU LISTEN AND

 WHEN YOU DEADEN (THE X's) THE STRINGS IT WILL CREATE THE 
      HARMONICS...

   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
