Save Myself - Ed Sheeran

Capo 3rd fret

[Verse 1]
G    D    Em    C
I gave all my oxygen to people that could breath
G    D    Em    C
I gave away my money and now we don't even speak
C/G    D Em D    C
I drove miles and miles, but would you do the same for me?
G D    G
Oh ho-o-o-onestly

G D    Em    C
Offered off my shoulder just for you to cry upon
G    D    Em    C
Gave you constant shelter and a bed to keep you warm
C/G D Em    D C
They gave me the heartache and in return I gave a song
G    D    G
Its goes o-o-o-on and on

[Chorus 1]
C    G    D    G
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
   C    G D D/F#    Em
We'll drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
   C D    Em D C
And all the ones that love me, they just left me on the shelf, no farewell
A7    Am7    Am7 G/B C D/F# G
So before I save someone else, I've got to   save my----self

[Verse 2]
G    D Em    C
I gave you all my energy and I took away your pain
G D    Em    C
'Cause human beings are destined to radiate or dream
   G D Em D    C
And what line do we stand upon 'cause from here it looks the same?
   G    D    G
And only scars remain

[Chorus 2]
C    G    D    G
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
   C    G D D/F#    Em
We'll drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
   C D    Em D C
And all the ones that love me, they just left me on the shelf, no farewell
A7    Am7    Am7 G/B C D/F# G
So before I save someone else, I've got to   save my----self

[Bridge]
   D Em
But if I don't
C    G
Then I'll go back, to where I'm rescuing a stranger
   D Em
But just because they needed saving just like that
C    G
Oh I'm here again, between the devil and the danger
D C
But I guess it's just my nature, my dad was wrong
D
'Cause I'm not like my mum
   Em    D C
'Cause she'd just smile and I'm complaining in a song, but it helps
A7    Am7    Am7 G/B C D/F# G
So before I save someone else, I've got to   save my----self

[Chorus 3]
C    G    D    G
Life can get you down so I just numb the way it feels
   C    G D D/F#    Em
We'll drown it with a drink and out of date prescription pills
   C D    Em D C
And all the ones that love me, they just left me on the shelf, no farewell
A7    Am7    Am7 G/B C D/F# G
So before I save someone else, I've got to   save my----self
Am7 Am7 G/B C D/F# G
And before I blame someone else, I've got to   save my----self
Am7    Am7 G/B C D/F#   G
And before I love someone else, I've got to   love myself
