[Verse 1]
   E                        B
The Fixer comes home one night
A                              E
Tinkers with the kitchen light
          C#m                        A
Tells his wife to find something to eat
A                       E
Kisses her cheek softly


[Verse 2]
         E                            B
"Are you cold," he says, feeling her hand
              A                    E
Leaves ginger ale on the nightstand
      C#m                     A
She's too tired to take a sip
        A                       E
So The Fixer finds something to fix


[Chorus]
         C#m               A
He's got bicycle tires and lawnmower parts
C#m                A
Miles of wires and kitchen drawer knobs
C#m        B      A
Transistor radios, scrap metal
F#
Hand-me-down tools, one of everything
    A
Old keys to unlock unknown things


[Verse 3]
                  E                              B
The Fighter says "Some things just can't be fixed"
             A                    E
Touching the cross on her necklace
              C#m                    A
Reminding The Fixer that she still believes
                                     E
He whispers, "Then ask for a miracle please"


[Verse 4]
               E                 B
The Fighter is fighting so damn hard
              A                        E
She sits on a chair out in the backyard
        C#m                      A
And the kids will come by later on
            A                      E
And they'll all pretend nothing is wrong


[Chorus]
          C#m               A
He's got bicycle tires and lawnmower parts
C#m                A
Miles of wires and kitchen drawer knobs
C#m        B      A
Transistor radios, scrap metal
F#m                 F#m
Hand-me-down tools, one of everything
           A                       C#m - B
He's got old keys to unlock unknown things

[Bridge]
        A      F#          C#m - B
Unknown things,   unknown things
        A
Unknown things, unknown things


[Verse 5]
          E                          B
The Fixer washes the grease from his hands
              A                     E
Turns off the light by the basement stairs
             C#m                       A
Kneels down, elbows on the bed next to her
      F#
And prays he can find a way
A                   A         C#m     B
Prays he can find a way... to fix her

[Outro]
   A        F#
To fix her
       C#m       B
Oh, to fix her
A
