   G                                       D                                   Am

1.   I was a ten-year train wreck with a last-call longneck,

                               - C                              G

    I was searching,      I'd been hurt real bad.

                                            D                                                   Am

    Moving on, getting sidetracked, one step forward and five back,

                                   - C

    not your fault I was        scared to fall.

Am          Em               D

    And I don't know why,  why you saw something in me, baby ?

Am              Em                     D

    Girl, but you saw right through

 

    all the pain, and you came and saved me !

 

G

    Yeah, I know you didn't leave me lonely,

D

    weren't the one that put the heartbreak on me

Am                                   C                                      G

picked up the pieces, it wasn't the mess that you made.

 

Could've left me just the way you found me,

D

    but you came and put your wings around me.

 Am                                      C

Girl, you went out of your way to fix what you didn't break.

 

  G                                                    D                                                Am

2.   You were the star in the pitch black, shine the way on the way back,

                             - C                               G

    out of nowhere       answered all my prayers.

                                                               D                                        Am

    You picked up the towel that I threw in, took in a heart that was ruined.

   

    Showed me the past ain't a tattoo,

C

    loved me even when you didn't have to.

 

G

    Yeah, I know you didn't leave me lonely,

D

    weren't the one that put the heartbreak on me

Am                                   C                                      G

picked up the pieces, it wasn't the mess that you made.

 

Could've left me just the way you found me,

D

    but you came and put your wings around me.

 Am                                      C

Girl, you went out of your way to fix what you didn't break.
