D                            Bm                  G D
Saving your life is going to be real interesting
              D                        Bm                G D
When you keep calling me up to tell me I’m not listening
           Bm     G
What can I say to you
     Em               C   A7
That nobody’s already said?  
D           D/C#             Bm      A     G    A  D
Saving your life is going to be real interesting
D                          Bm                     G D
I’ve got a question that’s probably not answerable
        D               Bm              G D
How can someone so cute be so miserable?
          Bm      G              Em                 C   A7
I know, I know. I know. It’s the stupidest thing to ask
D               D/C#             Bm      A     G    A D
But saving your life is going to be real interesting


[chorus]
          A                                  G       D
Don’t get mad. This isn’t how I wanted it to go, you know.
          A                                   G               D
Don’t get mad. I don’t have time to listen to you when you’re yelling.
          C  A7   D           D/#c          Bm       A    G    A  D 
Don’t get mad. Or saving your life is going get real difficult.
D                Em/D
Saving your life.
D                Em/D
Saving your life.

D                           Bm               G D
Your escape plan is through friendly biology
D                       Bm               G D
But I’m worn out from accepting apologies.
           Bm     G
What can I do for you
     Em               C   A7
That nobody’s already done?
D           D/C#             Bm      A     G    A  D   
Saving your life is going to be real interesting


[chorus]
          A                                  G       D
Don’t get mad. This isn’t how I wanted it to go, you know.
          A                                   G               D
Don’t get mad. I don’t have time to listen to you when you’re yelling.
          C  A7   D           D/#c          Bm       A    G    A  D 
Don’t get mad. Or saving your life is going get real difficult.
D                Em/D
Saving your life.
D                Em/D
Saving your life.
D                Em/D
Saving your life. It’s no longer my responsibility.
D                Em/D
Saving your life. I don’t have to make excuses anymore.
D                Em/D                                         D
Saving your life. I don’t have to explain the things you do.
