Save the Afternoon (radio edit version, itunes) 2011
Capo 1st fret standard tuning
Am
There are lines that we set up
C
As you and I become us
G F
When we start, there is less struggle when theyre crossed.
Am
But on days already rough
C
The lines get close enough to touch
G Fm
And the smallest movement sets all the alarms off
Am G F G
What takes so long to find can easily get lost
C G Am F
Well I cant figure out what to do
C G Fm
Is there still time left to save the afternoon?
C G Am F
Before we say something that isnt true
C G Fm
Is there still time left to save the afternoon?
Am
Ive said things that I regret,
C
some after days, some after breakfast
G F
And I know my pride can get the best of me.
Am C
But this is not some massive fire, destroying fields hour by hour
G Fm
But it burns me up again when you leave angry
Am G F G
So before you go please listen to my plead.
C G Am F
Well I cant figure out what to do
C G Fm
Is there still time left to save the afternoon?
C G Am F
Before we say something that isnt true
C G Fm Am
Is there still time left to save the afternoon?
Am
Save us from the silent treatments
C
Save us from the separate sleepin
G Fm
Save us from the thought that this could be the end.
Am
Hope in making the first move
C
Catch you thinking that same thing too
G Fm
That you crack that smile then we can start again
Am G F G
Lets use tonight to make our amends
C G Am F
Well I can’t figure out what to do
C G Fm
Is there still time left to save the afternoon?
C G Am F
Before we say something that isnt true
C G Fm
Is there still time left to save the afternoon?
