Save Yourself

Intro
C   Em   D

Verse 1
    C                                        Em
The best part about it is we’re still in the fight
    D
And I know this is the deep end but we can still survive
     C                                          Em
What if we find out - don’t have to struggle to try
    D
The harder you thrash the more likely we’ll end up capsized

Pre-Chorus
    C                                     Em
You think you’ve made your way out of the deep
                       D
but there’s a ripple effect
              C
It’s not over yet
                                   Em
You think you’re stronger when you scream
                              D
but then you can’t catch your breath

Chorus
N.C.                       C
No it’s not selfish if you save yourself
Em                         D
  Don’t feed the paranoia, that won’t help
                             C
It’s in your head and it’s under your skin
Em                             D
  I know that you can calm the storm in your nervous system

Verse 2
    C                                       G
The worst part is watching how you push me away
    D
And that I can’t help you when you stir up your hurricanes
    C                                         G
The good and the bad in us are like night and day
    D
The noise that you’re making’s drowning out what you meant to say

Pre-Chorus
    C                                     G
You think you’ve made your way out of the deep
                       D
but there’s a ripple effect
              C
It’s not over yet
                                   G
You think you’re stronger when you scream
                              D
but then you can’t catch your breath

Chorus
N.C.                       C
No it’s not selfish if you save yourself
Em                         D
  Don’t feed the paranoia, that won’t help
                             C
It’s in your head and it’s under your skin
Em                             D
  I know that you can calm the storm in your nervous system

Bridge
C
If I try to save you now
       Em
You’ll spin us out, you’ll take us down
    D
And say it’s me, catastrophe, can’t help you now —— if I’m drowning
C
Hold yourself, say you’re ok
    Em                              D
Say you’re the one who keeps you safe
        N.C.
In your nervous system

Chorus
C
Save yourself
Em                         D
  Don’t feed the paranoia, that won’t help
                             C
It’s in your head and it’s under your skin
Em                             D
  I know that you can calm the storm in your nervous system

Outro
C
Save yourself
G                          D
  Don’t feed the paranoia, that won’t help
                             C
It’s in your head and it’s under your skin
G                              D
  I know that you can calm the storm in your nervous system
