Chorded out by Russ Reading.
 
There's only 4 (easy) chords in this excellent song.
Bm can be played pretty much where you like on the neck
but I find it sounds much better if you play it higher up
(7th Fret sounds about right - Bm = 799777).  No capo needed.
Enjoy....
 
[Intro] Bm A G (x2)
 
[Verse 1]
Bm              A                       G
  Two black lines streaming out like a guidance line
Bm                       A                   G
  With one foot on the road now where the Cyborgs are driving
Bm         A  G
 With the WD 40 (in their veins)
Bm                       A            G
 The screeching little brakes complain
 
Bm                   A              G
 With my briefcase empty and a hole in my shoe
Bm              A                       G
 I try to stay friendly through the sugary abuse
Bm              A                G
 Tell my secretary now to hold all my calls
Bm                   A                       G
 I believe I can hear through these walls.
 
[Chorus]
G          A     Dmaj9/F#
Oh please Save Me
G                 E
Save me from myself
     A    Dmaj9/F#  G                E
I can't be the only one stuck on the shelf
A              Dmaj9/F# G             E     A Dmaj9/F#
You said you'd always fall for the un-der-dog
 
G D/F# E
 
[Verse 2]
Bm                                A                    G
 Well I've beem dreaming of jetstreams and kicking up dust
Bm       A                G
 A 37 thousand foot wanderlust
Bm                   A                   G
 With skyline number 9 kicked off in my mind
Bm                        A
 Can you hear me screaming out now
                      G
 through the telephone line
 
[Chorus]
G          A     Dmaj9/F#
Oh please Save Me
G                 E
Save me from myself
     A    Dmaj9/F#  G                E
I can't be the only one stuck on the shelf
A              Dmaj9/F# G             E     A Dmaj9/F#
You said you'd always fall for the un-der-dog
 
G D/F# E Bm7

also after the A in the chorus there is: Dmaj7/F# --- 2x0220 and at the end of the chorus (from last A) it goes: A, Dmaj7/F#, G, Dmaj7/F#, E..

There is a F#m missing between the A and G in the chorus. Like this: G A F#m Oh please Save Me G E Save me from myself
