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/G               D                    Em      D       C
I drove miles and miles, but would you do the same for me?
   G  D           G
Oh ho-o-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/G              D                  Em     D      C
They gave me the heartache and in return I gave a song
         G     D         G
Its goes o-o-o-on and on 

Chorus 1:
C                 G                 D                 G
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
      C               G                D        D/F#     Em
We'll drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills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, my farewell
A7             Am7                     Am7  G/B  C    D/F#  G
   So before I save someone else, I've got  to   save my----self

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 dream
    G                D                      Em      D         C
And what line do we stand upon 'cause from here it looks the same?
    G     D       G
And only scars remain

Chorus 2:
C                 G                 D                 G
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
      C               G                D        D/F#     Em
We'll drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills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, my farewell
A7             Am7                     Am7  G/B  C    D/F#  G
   So before I save someone else, I've got  to   save my----self

Bridge:
    D    Em
But if I don't
             C                   G
Then I'll go back, to where I'm rescuing a stranger
            D                                  Em
But just because they needed saving just like that
             C                 G
Oh I'm here again, between the devil and the danger
           D                                C
But I guess it's just my nature, 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, but it helps
A7             Am7                     Am7  G/B  C    D/F#  G
   So before I save someone else, I've got  to   save my----self

Chorus 3:
C                 G             D                     G
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
      C               G                D        D/F#     Em
We'll drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
    C                  D                 Em      D      C

And before I blame someone else, I've got  to   save my----self
             Am7                     Am7  G/B  C    D/F#   G
And before I love someone else, I've got  to   love myself
