Verse: DA Bm G I gave all my oxygen to people that could breath D A Bm G I gave away my money and now we don't even speak D A Bm A G I drove miles and miles, but would you do the same for me? D A D Oh ho-o-onestly D A Bm G Offered off my shoulder just for you to cry upon D A Bm G Gave you constant shelter and a bed to keep you warm D A Bm A G They gave me the heartache and in return I gave a song D A D Its goes o-o-on and on Chorus: G D A D Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels G D A A Bm I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills G A Bm A G And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf E7 My farewell Em7 Em7 D G A D So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself Verse: D A Bm G I gave you all my energy and I took away your pain D A Bm G 'Cause human beings are destined to radiate or drain D A Bm A G What line do we stand upon 'cause from here it looks the same? D A D And only scars remain Chorus: G D A D Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels G D A A Bm I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills G A Bm A G And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf E7 My farewell Em7 Em7 D G A D So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself Bridge: Bm G But if I don't, then I'll go back D To where I'm rescuing a stranger A Bm Just because they needed saving just like that G Oh, I'm here again D Between the devil and the danger A But I guess it's just my nature G My dad was wrong A 'Cause I'm not like my mum Bm A G 'Cause she'd just smile and I'm complaining in a song E7 But it helps Em7 Em7 D G A D So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself Chorus: G D A D Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels G D A A Bm I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills G A Bm A G And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf E7 My farewell Em7 Em7 D G A D So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself Em7 Em7 D G A D And before I blame someone else, I've got to save myself Em7 Em7 D G A D And before I love someone else, I've got to love myself

Please do not ask for strumming patterns. Sharing online how to literally play a song (i.e. strumming, rhythm and tempo) is not allowed by the MPA (Music Publishers Association) because of copyright issues.
Carefully listen to the song and try to really "feel" the rhythm. Once you get the basics of strumming, I can assure you it'll go real quick. Maybe the strumming guide can help you on your way.
