Saviour Tab

by Lights


This is a beautiful song by lights, I fell in love from the beginning and I 
thought I'd tab it for you guys:)



STANDARD TUNING, NO CAPO
It's very important that you play the D and D/F# chords like this:
          
|---3---|-----3--|
|-2-----|---2----|
|---3---|-----3--|
|-------|--------|
|-------|---2----|

Strum with feeling, like a heartbeat. 


               
The night is deafening when the silence is listening

And I'm down and my knees, and I know that something is missing

Because the back of my mind is holding things I'm relying in

But I choose to ignore it because I'm always denying them


I'm a bit of a manic when it's not as I plan

Cause I start losing my head and then I get up in a panic

Remember when we were kids and always knew when to quit it

Are we denying a crisis or are we scared of admitting

                        
I don't want to know

                     
I just want to run to you
                                      
And break off the chains, and throw them away
                    
I just want to be so much
                                       
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
                           
Sooner than later, I need a saviour

I need a saviour


It won't ever change if you want it to stay the same

I really hate it but I know it's hard to choose if you're chained

And when it's all you control cause you've got nothing left to hold

You're getting tighter and tighter, it's getting hard to let it go

                        
I don't want to know


                     
I just want to run to you
                                      
And break off the chains, and throw them away
                    
I just want to be so much
                                       
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
                           
Sooner than later, I need a saviour

I need a saviour

                         
Stand me up and maybe I won't be so small
                               
Free my hands a feet and maybe I won't always fall...

save me

                     
I just want to run to you
                                      
And break off the chains, and throw them away
                    
I just want to be so much
                                       
And shake off the dust that turned me to rust
                           
Sooner than later, I need a saviour
                      
I need a saviour
