F#m A
We'll haul it all back to st. paul
F#m A
I was just about to call you
E
When you called
Yeah, sapphire
I know the last time we touched
I came on a bit rough, please forgive me
Yeah, sapphire
After you left, it was a big sketchy mess
They almost killed me
Sapphire, if cheyenne's too small
We'll haul it all back to st. paul
I was just about to call you
When you called
Sapphire, if st. paul don't call
We've always got Aberdeen
Cause dreams they seem to cost money
But money costs some dreams
Em C G
It went just as you predicted
Em C G
I swear there must be something in your dreams
F#m D A
It all went down exactly like your visions
F#m D
And i know you said don't call until i'm clean
A D
I'm not drunk, i'm cut
A D
I'm gushing blood
A D A D E
And i need someone to come and pick me up
E A E A
I was a skeptic at first, but these miracles work
