[VERSE 1]
(G) It wasn't supposed to be like (D) this
Another dose of (Em) unhappiness
I gave it all and (C) managed to get shot down yet (G) again
So I got drunk 
(D) Had sex with all your friends (Em)
You told me to (C) never call your house again

[CHORUS]
G D A C    G     D       C  
Emily,    you saved the day
G D A C    Em        C  
Emily,    when you threw me away

          G
She was always such a pretty girl
  D
Nobody like her in the world
    Em
A little piece of heavenly
      C
That no one else could stand
   G
I see her in my dreams at night
   D
I see you when I close my eyes
   Em                             C-----
I just can't seem to shake you, Emily

[VERSE 2] Same as the first

You got your money and I got cast
Outside thrown out on my ass
In the city with no one else, no where else to go
So I hooked up with this model from Singapore
Emily, I sure am glad you didn't want me anymore

[CHORUS]

She was always such a pretty girl
Nobody like her in the world
A little piece of heavenly
That no one else could stand
I see her in my dreams at night
I see you when I close my eyes
I just can't seem to shake you, Emily
Yeah

Emily, you saved the day
Emily, you saved the day 
Emily, you saved my ass   end on G
