[Intro] D [Verse 1]
          D            G     D
i've seen trouble from every direction

          D            G     D
My old head is peppered with grey

          D            G     D
I could never resist life's temptations

      Em                      A
They just seemed to fall in my way

       D               G         D
I've had wives and I treated them badly

       D    G        D
And maybe a lover or two

       G              D
All the time, I didn't know it

      D             A           D
I was saving the good stuff for you
[Chorus]
       G                        D
I was saving the good stuff for you, darling

 D          A           D
Saving the good stuff for you

 G                         D
There was some part of me who knew, darling

D            A             D
To save the good stuff for you
[Verse 2]
      D    G          D
And I even thought on occasion

       D             G         D
It was love that was making me blue

     D       G           D
Some kind of love, well, I called it love

      Em                    A
Maybe fatal attraction will do

        D          G         D
Well, I got it all out of my system

   D           G          D
My heart it is tested and true

        G              D
All the time, I didn't know it

      D          A              D
I was saving the good stuff for you
[Chorus]
       G                        D
I was saving the good stuff for you, darling

 D          A             D
Saving the good stuff for you

 G                            D
There was some part of me who knew, darling

D            A
To save the good stuff for you

   D             G         D
'm glad that you never did know me

D          G            D
When I was out of control

      D            G            D
I was hollow right there in the middle

     Em                       A
Some people got sucked in the hole

      D          G              D
But I cut myself loose from the old ways

    D               G            D
And you're all that I'm clinging to

        G              D
All the time, I didn't know it

      D          A              D
I was saving the good stuff for you
[Chorus]
       G                        D
I was saving the good stuff for you, darling

 D          A             D
Saving the good stuff for you

 G                         D
There was some part of me who knew, darling

D            A             D
To save the good stuff for you

      D          A               D
I was saving the good stuff for you
