Verse:
Am C
You leave a trail of my broken tears,
Dm G
Empty words for me to fall,

Broadway at dark is where you left my heart,
Dm G
Love is cursed in a bar,
Am C
Now I can't get up, Now I can't get down
Dm G
With all the games that you play,
Am C
You shut me up and you shut me out,
Dm G
It's all the same, nothing's changed,
Pre-Chorus:
Am C
Got me on the ledge where you keep me waiting,
Dm G
Standing on the edge and I'm begging, begging,
Am C Dm
I can't read your mind, won't you help me draw the line?
Chorus:
Dm Am
Save my life, set me free,
C G
These lonely nights are haunting me,
Dm Am
Cut me out from the cold,
C G
This young heart is getting old,

Save my life, set me free,
C G
Yes or no is all I need,
Dm Am C
You don't want me, darling, let me know,
Just say goodbye and I'll go,
