_ _ _ _ [D#] _ _
_ _ _ I [D] think the best [E] song I've ever written [A#] is _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ She's Saving _ Me.
Oh wow, I didn't know you thought that was your best one.
I think _ _ _ _ _ it's the one that _ _ most closely captured what I was going for
_ _ _ _ _ _
more than any other song I've ever written.
_ _ [A] _ _
_ What's your favorite?
What's your best song?
_ _ [Fm]
You know, _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ I honestly like Share the Moon the best of everything I've written.
_ [A#] I love that song.
It's a perfect song. _ Perfect. _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _
[A#] You know what my favorite line of yours that you've ever written though? _
_ _ _ Is I think we were on the same boat back in _ 1694.
_ _ _ _ I love that verse.
_ [Bm] Every time we sing [Gm] that I'm like, that [D] is _ _ exactly right.
_ [E] _ _ _
[A] Okay.
_ _ _ [F#] _
_ This song is some about my little sister who passed away,
[Am] but it's also about the power of women [E] in my life, the mystical power. _ _ _
_ _ [A#] Women who have helped me.
And it's also about a connection to _ the realm beyond this one,
because I believe there's something more than just [F#] this.
And I think that there's connectivity _ _ _ _ [D#] _
between the two. _
[A#] I'll call them worlds.
That's kind of a clunky word.
But _ [A#] _
_ _ _ so the song talks about that, _ _
_ _ the beauty of pain and how it relates to nature and stuff like that.
So, but [E] it's very, _ _ _ it's just a song that I _ like.
I don't want [B] to play it all the time, but [A#] it always means a lot to me when I play it.
_ [E] _
_ Whereas the rest of them [C]
don't. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ We were sitting around a [E] dying _ _ fire.
_ _ [C#] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ Somebody lit [A] _ _ _
incense.
_ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] _ Somebody lit [G#m] a _ cigarette. _
_ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _
And passed a bottle _ _ [E] around. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _
It was just _ strawberry _ [E] _ season. _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[E] That breaking _ pickers in [A] the _ _ patches.
_ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] _ Everything's burning [B] down to _ _ [G#m]
ashes.
[E] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ And down to the [E] _ ground. _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ She's saving _ me.
[C#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ I don't even think she [B] knows _ _ _ it.
_ [A] _ _
_ That's a strange way [E] to show it is distant [D#m] as _
last [G#] night's _ dream _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [A] unravels. _
_ _ [B] She's saving _
_ _ [C#m] me. _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ I'm a very _ lost [B] _ _ soul.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
I was _ born with [E] a hole in my heart.
[F#m] The _ size of my _ [G] _
[B] landlocked _ travel. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
I've tried to put it _ [E] aside. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
But it's too much [A] bigger _ than _ _ [E] me. _ _
[A] There's a big _ [B] brown _ hawk in the [E] tree.
_ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B]
Lighting, [E] _ leaving. _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ Endless tea leaves [E] _ _ _ _
tossing.
_ _ [C#] _ _ _
Heads [E] of pennies in my _ _ _ [Am]
pocket.
_ _ [A] _ _ _
_ Dead star like [B] a _ _ _ [E]
rocket.
_ _ _ [A] _ _
_ The _ arc [G] of my [E] _ grieving. _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ She's saving me.
[C#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ I don't even think she [B] knows _ _ _ _ it.
[A] _ _
_ Such a strange way [E] to show it is distant as
[D#] _
last [G#] night's _ dream [C#m] unravels. _ _ _
_ _ [G#m] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [B] She's saving me.
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ I'm a very _ lost [B] soul. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _
I was _ born [E] with a hole in my heart.
_ The size of my _ _ [B] landlocked travel. _ _
_ _ The _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] sky _ _ _ _ pours out _ _
_ [E] _ _ biblical _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ rain. _ _
_ _ _ _ Then _ [B] _ days so _ still _ that _ beauty gives you _ _ [E] pain. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ The [D#] keep [C] wave _ _ kills the [C#m] _ _ _
green.
_ _ [B] And she _ _ _ _ remains _ _ [E] unseen. _
_ _ _ _ [B] But _ [F#m] colors _ of my _ dreams
with all [B] things _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ blooming. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A#m] This is _ not all [E] there _ _ is.
_ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [E] It's not a _ _ _ kingdom.
[A] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [A] It's not an _ _ [G#m] angry _ _ [E] god.
_ [A] _ _ _
_ It feels _ like [E] her. _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ It feels like [E] no _ _ fear. _ _ _ _ _
_ It feels [A]
like no _ _ _ _ doubt. _ _ _
_ It feels [G#m] like _ _ inside _
_ [E] _ _ _ out.
_ [B] The ashes [G] _
_ [E] _ stir. _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _
And she's saving _ [C#] me.
_ [C#m] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
I don't even think she [B] knows _ it.
_ _ _ [A] _ _
Such a strange [E] way to show it is distant as
_ [D#] last [G#] night's _ _ dream _ [C#m] _ _ _ unravels.
[B] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[B] She's [Bm] saving _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ [E] _ me.
_ _ [F#] _ _ _
I'm a very lost [B] _ _ soul. _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _
I was born with [E] a _ hole in my heart.
The [F#] _ size of my _ _ [B] landlocked _ travel. _ _ _
