E
I wrote a song to you
  B
I poured my soul in it
A
Now I'm feeling flat
          E       D  A  C#m  G#m  A
I want my soul back
B                    F#
Lately I just need a pal
                           A  D  B7
Thanks for being my safety valve

[Verse 2]
  E                              F#
I know that there's something up there, I can feel it
  A
I walk in the night, I look in the windows
        E                       F#
There's dinners and parties and late conversations
A                                 B
Laughing out loud, the tears of a crowd
                   F#
Lady I just need a pal
                        A  B  E  C#m
Wish you'd be my safety valve

[Chorus]
A              B
Hey, I've been here before
     E                C#m
I'll save you, it's a serious bore
A             F#m                A
Hey I've been I still wrote this song for you
D          A            B
I dedicate this song to you
F#m                A
I know you've been there all along
F#m          A        B
I wanna stay close to you
                        F#
Sometimes I just need a pal
                           A  D  B7
Thanks for being my safety valve

[Verse 3]
E                   B
Hell on my own is a night without prospects
    A
You need something good to get through the day
    E                      B
I'm not in a good place, I know I'll get better
    A
But just for tonight, take me away
B                     F#
Come and be my sacred cow
                      A  B  E  C#m
Come and be my safety valve

[Chorus]
A              B
Hey, I've been there before
E                      C#m
I'll spare you, it's a serious bore
A              B
Hey, I've been there before
E                     C#m
I'll save you, it's a serious bore
A              B
Hey, I've been there before
