Capo di fret 3
[G]I gave all my [D]oxygen
to [Em]people that could b[C]reath
I g[G]ave away my [D]money and
now [Em]we don’t even [C]speak
I [G]drove miles and [D]miles
but would you [Em]do the [D]same for [C]me?
ho[G]o..oo[D]o..nest[G]ly
[G]Offered off my [D]shoulder just
for [Em]you to cry u[C]pon
[G]Gave you constant [D]shelter and
a [Em]bed to keep you [C]warm
[G]They gave me the [D]heartache
and in re[Em]turn I [D]gave a [C]song
Its goes [G]o..oo[D]on and on[G]
(Chorus)
[C]Life can get you [G]down
so I just [D]numb the way it [G]feels
I [C]drown it with a [G]drink
and out of [D]date pres[D/F#]cription [Em]pills
And [C]all the ones that [D]love me
they just [Em]left me [D]on the [C]shelf
My farewell[A7]
So before I [Am7]save someone else
I’ve [Am7]got [G/B]to.. [C]save [D/F#]mysel[G]f
I [G]gave you all my [D]energy
and I [Em]took away your [C]pain
‘Cause [G]human beings are
[D]destined to [Em]radiate or [C]dream
[G]What line do we [D]stand upon
‘cause from [Em]here it [D]looks the [C]same?
And [G]only [D]scars re[G]main
(Chorus)
[C]Life can get you [G]down
so I just [D]numb the way it [G]feels
I [C]drown it with a [G]drink
and out of [D]date pres[D/F#]cription [Em]pills
And [C]all the ones that [D]love me
they just [Em]left me [D]on the [C]shelf
My farewell[A7]
So before I [Am7]save someone else
I’ve [Am7]got [G/B]to.. [C]save [D/F#]mysel[G]f
But if I [Em]don’t,
then I’ll go [C]back
To where I’m [G]rescuing a stranger
Just bec[D]ause..
they needed saving just like [Em]that
Oh, I’m here a[C]gain
Between the [G]devil and the danger
But I guess[D] it’s just my nature
My dad was [C]wrong
‘Cause I’m not like my mum[D]
‘Cause she’d just s[Em]mile
and I’m com[D]plaining in a [C]song
But it [A7]helps
So before I [Am7]save someone else
I’ve [Am7]got [G/B]to.. [C]save [D/F#]mysel[G]f
(Chorus)
[C]Life can get you [G]down
so I just [D]numb the way it [G]feels
I [C]drown it with a [G]drink
and out of [D]date pres[D/F#]cription [Em]pills
And [C]all the ones that [D]love me
they just [Em]left me [D]on the [C]shelf
My farewell[A7]
So before I [Am7]save someone else,
I’ve [Am7]got [G/B]to.. [C]save [D/F#]mysel[G]f
And before I [Am7]blame someone else,
I’ve [Am7]got [G/B]to.. [C]save [D/F#]mysel[G]f
And before I [Am7]love someone else,
I’ve [Am7]got [G/B]to.. [C]love [D/F#]mysel[G]f
