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


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

Chorus:
A                 E             B               E
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
  A               E                B       B         Dbm
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
    A                  B                Dbm      B      A
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
           Gb7
My farewell
            Gbm7                     Gbm7 E   A   B   E
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself

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

Chorus:
A                 E             B               E
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
  A               E                B       B        Dbm
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
    A                  B                Dbm      B      A
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
           Gb7
My farewell
            Gbm7                     Gbm7 E   A   B   E
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself

Bridge:
         Dbm                  A
But if I don't, then I'll go back
                E
To where I'm rescuing a stranger
        B                                  Dbm
Just because they needed saving just like that
              A
Oh, I'm here again
            E
Between the devil and the danger
       B
But I guess it's just my nature
            A
My dad was wrong
                        B
'Cause I'm not like my mum
                   Dbm               B            A
'Cause she'd just smile and I'm complaining in a song
       Gb7
But it helps
            Gbm7                     Gbm7 E   A   B   E
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself

Chorus:
A                 E             B               E
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
  A               E                B       B        Dbm
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
    A                  B                Dbm      B      A
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
           Gb7
My farewell
            Gbm7                     Gbm7 E   A   B   E
So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself
             Gbm7                      Gbm7 E   A   B   E
And before I blame someone else, I've got to save myself
             Gbm7                     Gbm7 E   A   B   E
And before I love someone else, I've got to love myself
