[C]I gave all my [G]oxygen
to [Am]people that could b[F]reath
I g[C]ave away my [G]money and
now [Am]we don’t even [F]speak
I [C]drove miles and [G]miles
but would you [Am]do the [G]same for [F]me?
ho[C]o..oo[G]o..nest[C]ly
[C]Offered off my [G]shoulder just
for [Am]you to cry u[F]pon
[C]Gave you constant [G]shelter and
a [Am]bed to keep you [F]warm
[C]They gave me the [G]heartache
and in re[Am]turn I [G]gave a [F]song
Its goes [C]o..oo[G]on and on[C]
(Chorus)
[F]Life can get you [C]down
so I just [G]numb the way it [C]feels
I [F]drown it with a [C]drink
and out of [G]date pres[G/B]cription [Am]pills
And [F]all the ones that [G]love me
they just [Am]left me [G]on the [F]shelf
My farewell[D7]
So before I [Dm7]save someone else
I’ve [Dm7]got [C/E]to.. [F]save [G/B]mysel[C]f
I [C]gave you all my [G]energy
and I [Am]took away your [F]pain
‘Cause [C]human beings are
[G]destined to [Am]radiate or [F]dream
[C]What line do we [G]stand upon
‘cause from [Am]here it [G]looks the [F]same?
And [C]only [G]scars re[C]main
(Chorus)
[F]Life can get you [C]down
so I just [G]numb the way it [C]feels
I [F]drown it with a [C]drink
and out of [G]date pres[G/B]cription [Am]pills
And [F]all the ones that [G]love me
they just [Am]left me [G]on the [F]shelf
My farewell[D7]
So before I [Dm7]save someone else
I’ve [Dm7]got [C/E]to.. [F]save [G/B]mysel[C]f
But if I [Am]don’t,
then I’ll go [F]back
To where I’m [C]rescuing a stranger
Just bec[G]ause..
they needed saving just like [Am]that
Oh, I’m here a[F]gain
Between the [C]devil and the danger
But I guess[G] it’s just my nature
My dad was [F]wrong
‘Cause I’m not like my mum[G]
‘Cause she’d just s[Am]mile
and I’m com[G]plaining in a [F]song
But it [D7]helps
So before I [Dm7]save someone else
I’ve [Dm7]got [C/E]to.. [F]save [G/B]mysel[C]f
(Chorus)
[F]Life can get you [C]down
so I just [G]numb the way it [C]feels
I [F]drown it with a [C]drink
and out of [G]date pres[G/B]cription [Am]pills
And [F]all the ones that [G]love me
they just [Am]left me [G]on the [F]shelf
My farewell[D7]
So before I [Dm7]save someone else,
I’ve [Dm7]got [C/E]to.. [F]save [G/B]mysel[C]f
And before I [Dm7]blame someone else,
I’ve [Dm7]got [C/E]to.. [F]save [G/B]mysel[C]f
And before I [Dm7]love someone else,
I’ve [Dm7]got [C/E]to.. [F]love [G/B]mysel[C]f
