Save Myself – Ed Sheeran

Capo 3 

 
(VERSE) 
[G] I gave all my [D] oxygen to [Em] people that could [C] breath 
I [G] gave away my [D] money and now [Em] we don't even [C] speak 
I [G] drove miles and [D] miles, but would you [Em] do the [D] same for [C] me? 
Oh [G] ho-[D] o-[G] onestly 
 
[G] Offered off my [D] shoulder just for [Em] you to cry [C] upon 
[G] Gave you constant [D] shelter and a [Em] bed to keep you [C] warm 
[G] They gave me the [D] heartache and in [Em] return I [D] gave a [C] song 
Its goes [G] o-o-on [D] and [G] on 
 
(CHORUS) 
[C] Life can get you [G] down so I just [D] numb the way it [G] feels 
I [C] drown it with a [G] drink and out of [D] date prescription [Em] pills 
And [C] all the ones that [D] love me they just [Em] left me [D] on the [C] shelf 
My farewell [A7
]  
So before I [Am7] save someone else, I've [Am7] got [G/B] to [C] save [D/F#] myself[G
]  
 
(VERSE) 
I [G] gave you all my [D] energy and I [Em] took away your [C] pain 
'Cause [G] human beings are [D] destined to [Em] radiate or [C] dream 
[G] What line do we [D] stand upon 'cause from [Em] here it [D] looks the [C] same? 
And [G] only [D] scars [G] remain 
 
(CHORUS) 
[C] Life can get you [G] down so I just [D] numb the way it [G] feels 
I [C] drown it with a [G] drink and out of [D] date prescription [Em] pills 
And [C] all the ones that [D] love me they just [Em] left me [D] on the [C] shelf 
My farewell [A7
]  
So before I [Am7] save someone else, I've [Am7] got [G/B] to [C] save [D/F#] myself[G
]  
 
(BIRDGE) 
But if I [Em] don't, hen I'll go [C] back 
To where I'm [G] rescuing a stranger 
Just [D] because they needed saving just like [Em] that 
Oh, I'm here [C] again 
Between the [G] devil and the danger 
But I [D] guess it's just my nature 
My dad was [C] wrong 
'Cause I'm not like my [D] mum 
'Cause she'd just [Em] smile and I'm [D] complaining in a [C] song 
But it [A7] helps 
So before I [Am7] save someone else, I've [Am7] got [G/B] to [C] save [D/F#] myself[G
]  
 
(CHORUS) 
[C] Life can get you [G] down so I just [D] numb the way it [G] feels 
I [C] drown it with a [G] drink and out of [D] date prescription [Em] pills 
And [C] all the ones that [D] love me they just [Em] left me [D] on the [C] shelf 
My farewell [A7
]  
So before I [Am7] save someone else, I've [Am7] got [G/B] to [C] save [D/F#] myself[G
]  
And before I [Am7] blame someone else, I've [Am7] got [G/B] to [C] save [D/F#] myself[G
]  
And before I [Am7] love someone else, I've [Am7] got [G/B] to [C] love [D/F#] myself[G]
