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I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills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I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills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
