Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: C

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
Am     F                  C          G
  Do I want to forgive my sins while yours are still bleeding?
Am     F                     C            G
  I forgot what it's like to live and get lost in dreaming
Am                            F
Will you push me out into the great unknown
       C                            G
Let me go, let me float through the darkness?
Am                               F
Did I hold you back and throw it all away?
         C                          G
'Cause a lie is just fear, let's be honest.

Pre-Chorus:
Am
Trying to wake up with no safety net
Am
Cut the strings and fall like a marionette.


Chorus:
Am       F                  C                G
Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live
Am      F                    C        G
Cry for help like you're the martyr,  oh.


Verse 1:
Am     F                      C         G
  Do I know where the truth begins, the pain that you're speaking?
Am      F                  C        G
  Can I betray your heart again and know what's deceiving?
Am                         F
Did I give it up before it could unfold
       C                             G
Like a knife, it shines red, perfect scarlet?
Am                            F
Will you tear it up before my sorrow grows?
        C                           G
Because death has come back for the harvest.


Pre-Chorus:
Am
Trying to wake up with no safety net
Am
Cut the strings and fall like a marionette.


Chorus:
Am       F                  C                G
Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live
Am      F                    C        G
Cry for help like you're the martyr,  oh
    Am                      F
You never think twice, just believe that it's right
     C                            G
Your heart has gone numb from the hate you've become
Am       F                  C                G
Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live
                 Am
Cause you're the martyr.


Bridge:
Am          G            F
Don't ask me how I feel about you
Em
Nothing, nothing
Am            G            F      Em
Don't tell me how to make amends.


Chorus:
Am       F                  C                G
Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live
Am      F                    C        G
Cry for help like you're the martyr,  oh
    Am                      F
You never think twice, just believe that it's right
     C                            G
Your heart has gone numb from the hate you've become
Am       F                  C                G
Save yourself, it's all you have and how you live
                 Am
Cause you're the martyr.
