Verse:
C             G         Am                 F
I gave all my oxygen to people that could breath
   C           G             Am             F
I gave away my money and now we don't even speak
  C               G                    Am      G       F
I drove miles and miles, but would you do the same for me?
   C  G  C
Oh ho-o-onestly


C              G                 Am           F
Offered off my shoulder just for you to cry upon
C                 G             Am               F
Gave you constant shelter and a bed to keep you warm
C                G                  Am     G      F 
They gave me the heartache and in return I gave a song
         C     G    C
Its goes o-o-on and on 

Chorus:
F                 C             G               C
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
  F               C                G       G         Am
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
    F                  G                Am      G      F
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
           D7
My farewell
            Dm7                     Dm7 C   F   G   C
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself

Verse:
  C               G            Am             F
I gave you all my energy and I took away your pain
       C                G           Am         F
'Cause human beings are destined to radiate or drain
 C              G                      Am      G         F
What line do we stand upon 'cause from here it looks the same?
    C     G      C
And only scars remain

Chorus:
F                 C             G               C
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
  F               C                G       G        Am
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
    F                  G                Am      G      F
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
           D7
My farewell
            Dm7                     Dm7 C   F   G   C
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself

Bridge:
         Am                  F
But if I don't, then I'll go back
                C
To where I'm rescuing a stranger
        G                                  Am
Just because they needed saving just like that
              F
Oh, I'm here again
            C
Between the devil and the danger
       G
But I guess it's just my nature
            F
My dad was wrong
                        G
'Cause I'm not like my mum
                   Am               G            F
'Cause she'd just smile and I'm complaining in a song
       D7
But it helps
            Dm7                     Dm7 C   F   G   C
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself

Chorus:
F                 C             G               C
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
  F               C                G       G        Am
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
    F                  G                Am      G      F
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
           D7
My farewell
            Dm7                     Dm7 C   F   G   C
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
             Dm7                      Dm7 C   F   G   C
And before I blame someone else, I've got to save myself
             Dm7                     Dm7 C   F   G   C
And before I love someone else, I've got to love myself
