[Verse 1]
G C  B                        C
     The work you chose has a practical vein
    B                C         D
But I read much more into your name
G          C
Lifeguard.
   B                           C
Patrolling the length and the breadth of your pool
  B                        C    
I call your name from the vestibule
D
Lifeguard

[Chorus]
G          D            C
Lifeguard, save me from life
D            G
Save me from life
D            C     D
Save me from life
                 G            D
Save me from the ails and the ills, and
      C           D
from other things.

[Verse 2]
    B                       C
The center of the town is a dangerous zone
 B                       C           D
Drenched in phlegm every time that I come home

[Chorus]
G           D             C
Lifeguard - save me from life.
D             G
Save me from life.
D             C    D
Save me from life.
                 G            D
Save me from the ails and the ills
         C             D
And from other things.

[Bridge]
D           Em
Love me, oh help me, oh
D            C    D
oh help me, oh help oh

[Chorus]
G          D             C       D
Lifeguard, guard me from life
G          D             C       D
Lifeguard, guard me from life.

[Verse 3]
    B                    C
The last bus home is the dangerous one,
    B                        C
A baseball bat against the collarbone.
D
Lifeguard.

[Chorus]
G           D             C
Lifeguard - save me from life.
D             G
Save me from life.
D             C    
Save me from life.

[Outro]
               D                   G
Cause it's the only life I'll ever have,
            D                C
I'm always good, I'm never bad
         D              G
And I've always been so kind,
       D                         C
To the sick and to the partially blind.
D              G
Save me from life.
