Lyrics
(Bb)I gave all my (F)ox y gen to (Gm)peo ple that could breathe.
I (Bb)gave a way my (F)mon ey and now (Gm)we don’t e ven (Eb)speak.
I drove miles and miles, but would you (Gm)do the (F)same for (Eb)me?
Oh, (Bb)hon
est ly.
(F)Of fered you my shoul der just and for (Eb)you to cry up on.
’Cause (Bb)Gave you con stant (F)shel ter and a (Gm)bed to keep you (Eb)warm.
They gave me the heart (F)ache and in re (Gm)turn, I (F)gave a (Eb)song.
It goes (Bb)on ly scars and on.
(Eb)Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels.
I’ll (Eb)drown it with a drink and out of date pre scrip tion pills.
And (Eb)all the ones that love me, they just (Gm)left me (F)on the (Eb)shelf,
no fare well.
So be fore I (Cm)save some one else,
I’ve got (Bb)to (Eb)save my (Bb)self.
I (F)gave you all my en er gy and I (Eb)took a way your pain.
’Cause (Bb)hu man be are (F)des tined to a (Gm)ra di ate or (Eb)drain.
What line do stand up (F)on, and ’cause from (Gm)here it (F)looks the (Eb)same.
It And (Bb)on ly scars re main.
(Eb)Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels.
I’ll (Eb)drown it with a drink and out of date pre scrip tion pills.
And (Eb)all the ones that love me, they just (Gm)left me (F)on the (Eb)shelf,
no fare well.
So be fore I (Cm)save some one else,
I’ve got (Bb)to (Eb)save my (Bb)self.
I (Bb)self.
But if I (Gm)don’t,
then I’ll go (Eb)back
to where I’m res cu ing a stran ger just be cause they need ed sav ing, just like that.
Oh, I’m here a gain,
be tween the dev il and the dan ger, but I guess it’s just my na ture.
My dad was (Eb)wrong
’cause I’m not like my mum
’cause she’d just smile, and I’m com plain ing in a song.
But it helps.
So be fore I (Cm)save some one else,
I’ve got (Bb)to (Eb)save my (Bb)self.
(Bb)self.
And be fore I (Cm)blame some eone else,
I’ve got (Bb)to (Eb)save my (Bb)self.
And be fore I (Cm)love some one else,
I’ve got (Bb)to (Eb)love my self.
