Verse 1GDEmC
I gave all my oxygen to people that could breath
GDEmC
I gave away my money and now we don't even speak
CDEmDC
I drove miles and miles, but would you do the same for me?
GDG
Oh ho-o-onestly
GDEmC
Offered off my shoulder just for you to cry upon
GDEmC
Gave you constant shelter and a bed to keep you warm
CDEmDC
They gave me the heartache and in return I gave a song
GDG
Its goes o-o-on and on
ChorusCGDG
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
CGDB7Em
I drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
CDEmDC
And all the ones that love me they just left me on the shelf
Am/E
My farewell

So before I save someone else, I've got to save myself

What line do we stand upon 'cause from here it looks the same?

And only scars remain

Just because they needed saving just like that

Oh, I'm here again
G
Between the devil and the danger

My dad was wrong

'Cause I'm not like my mum
