I'll save you
An echo from the hall
And I'll paint you
A dreamscape on your bedroom wall
Pretend you're not alone
Like you are center stage on broadway
'Cause when you're on your own
A little opera goes a long way
I'll meet you
Where the page proclaims the end
And I'll make do
With the fractions my reactions bend
Pretend you're not alone
Like you are center stage on broadway
'Cause when you're on your own
A little opera goes a long way
I'll capsize
This highrise
And weld a cablecar
Then I'll drive down
To some southwestern town
And end up where you are
Pretend you're not alone
Like you are center stage on broadway
'Cause when you're on your own
A little opera goes a long way
I'll reset
Your silhouette
And be your parasol
So hold on to
Your flourescent view
And if you slip and fall
I will catch you

version 4
Key: G
Note: This isn't the real tab Adam Young uses in the song--it's just chords I put
together that match the song.ïAlthough the song is in the key of D, I play it in G because
it's easier to play D instead of A in this instance. x) And since the 4 'verses' aren't
the same tune or style, I call the last two 'part 2'.ï

Your florescent pew
D
And if you slip and fall,
G
I will catch you
End on strumming G once.
