Key: D

Intro:

D


Verse 1:
D
I knew you'd say you're sorry when you sobered up
        A
Doesn't mean it didn't happen just 'cause you were drunk
               Bm7
You're kicking gravel with your shoes, you keep staring at the ground
            G
Like you're looking for the words down there to dig you out
           D
You'll get braver in a second, look straight in my eyes
          A
Find both hurt and forgiveness in there, cutting like a knife
         Bm7
'Cause I know that you know better, and I know you love me
             G
But choosing love ain't love unless the choosing's free

Chorus:
G           D          A       G
 Here I go, saving the day again
                       Bm7         A     G
And I know that's what they call enabling
        D          A
My hero complex is shaking
       G                        Bm7          Asus4      G
'Cause I can't keep waiting for you to start saving yourself


Verse 2:
          D
You got a ghost in your past, he looks a lot like your dad
            A
And he's an arrow to the target only you can understand
        Bm7
You got more than your temper and your pocket watch from him
          G
But the difference is that you know how to let the sun back in
       D
I keep trying to be patient 'cause I know your heart is good
     A
I've seen it with my own eyes, wouldn't change it if I could
           Bm7
It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt when you walk right over me
         G
Choosing love ain't love unless the choosing is free


Chorus:
G           D          A       G
 Here I go, saving the day again
                       Bm7         A     G
And I know that's what they call enabling
        D          A
My hero complex is shaking
       G                        Bm7          Asus4   G
Cause I can't keep waiting for you to start saving yourself, no


Post-Chorus:
Bm7    G
     Ooh
Bm7    G
     Ooh


Bridge:
                 A
You say it's the last time it'll happen
   G             Bm7         A     Gsus2
But I break each time I hear that again
                D        A  Gsus2
And I hate that I keep enabling


Chorus:
G           D          A       G
 Here I go, saving the day again
                       Bm7         A     G
And I know that's what they call enabling
        D          A
My hero complex is shaking
       G                        Bm7          Asus4      G
'Cause I can't keep waiting for you to start saving yourself


Outro:
D             G  Bm7
 I just wanna help
  A          G      D A
I love you like hell
    G
But I can't keep waiting
     Bm7         A        G
I've gotta start saving myself
