[Verse 1]
G                     C     C/B  C/A   G
You slept through the last      small  town.
Em                        C              D
I'll wake you up when the next one comes around.
C    C/B  C/A G               Bm      C
Your eyes are closed like you truly believe.
C                    D          G
That you're safe and sound with me.

[Verse 2] (band enters)
G                     C    C/B C/A   G
No looking back, no turning into     salt.
Em                          C                  D
The city was crumbling, but baby, we're not to fault.
C    C/B    C/A G            Bm                C
When things got too rough, I promised you we'd leave.
C               D          G
You're safe and sound with me.

[Chorus]
Em              D/F#        G        Bm
You're safe and sound, with me-ee-ee ah-ah,
C    C/B  C/A  G
Just like you always will,
C    C/B  C/A    G        D
Just like you always will be.

[Verse 3]
G                     C         C/B C/A   G
The wipers clear the windshield of the    rain.
Em                         C             D
My shirt sleeve dries your eyes the very same.
C  C/B C/A G               Bm              C
We fit  together like the ignition and the key.
C               D          G
You're safe and sound with me.

[Chorus]
Em              D/F#        G        Bm
You're safe and sound, with me-ee-ee ah-ah,
C    C/B  C/A  G
Just like you always will,
C    C/B  C/A    G        D
Just like you always will be.

[Guitar Solo] (Verse Chords)

[Chorus]
Em              D/F#        G        Bm
You're safe and sound, with me-ee-ee ah-ah,
C    C/B  C/A  G
Just like you always will,
C    C/B  C/A    G        D
Just like you always will be.

[Verse 4]
G                          C     C/B C/A   G
The glove box light shines bright enough to see
Em                             C          D
you read the map like you were reading poetry.
C   C/B C/A G               Bm        C
and it just might take you forever to see
C                    D          G ring....
that you're safe and sound with me.
