[Verse 1]
G D Em C
I gave all my oxygen to people that could breath
G D Em C
I gave away my money and now we don't even speak
C D Em D C
I drove miles and miles, but would you do the same for me?
G D G
Oh ho-o-onestly
G D Em C
Offered off my shoulder just for you to cry upon
G D Em C
Gave you constant shelter and a bed to keep you warm
C D Em D C
They gave me the heartache and in return I gave a song
G D G
Its goes o-o-on and on
[Chorus]
C G D G
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
C G D B7 Em
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
C D Em D C
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
Am/E
No farewell
Am/E Am/E G/B C D/F# G
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
[Verse 2]
G D Em C
I gave you all my energy and I took away your pain
G D Em C
'Cause human beings are destined to radiate or drain
C D Em D C
What line do we stand upon 'cause from here it looks the same?
G D G
And only scars remain
[Chorus]
C G D G
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
C G D B7 Em
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
C D Em D C
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
Am/E
No farewell
Am/E Am/E G/B C D/F# G
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
[Bridge]
Em C
But if I don't, then I'll go back
G
To where I'm rescuing a stranger
D Em
Just because they needed saving just like that
C
Oh, I'm here again
G
Between the devil and the danger
D
But I guess it's just my nature
C
My dad was wrong
D
'Cause I'm not like my mum
Em D C
'Cause she'd just smile and I'm complaining in a song
Am/E
But it helps
Am/E Am/E G/B C D/F# G
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
[Chorus]
C G D G
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
C G D B7 Em
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
C D Em D C
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
Am/E
No farewell
Am/E Am/E G/B C D/F# G
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
Am/E Am/E G/B C D/F# G
And before I blame someone else, I've got to save myself
Am/E Am/E G/B C D/F# G
And before I love someone else, I've got to love myself
