  Oh, you poor boy out in the water 
        Em 
  It’s sad now, looking back from here 
        C                                    G 
  It’s bad, oh so bad the things you had to see 

  Now I know that your heart just pumps blood all the time 
          Em 
  And I know that your mind keeps playing all your thoughts 
          C                                  D 
  And I know that you only stand to see the best in me 

                  Em 
  I was saved by salt 
             C 
  Sugar and pills 
                         D 
  Yeah, I was saved from all the things 
                                    C 
  That you could have possibly come after me 
                  Em 
  I was saved by salt 
                  C 
  I was saved by her swinging 
               D 
  She talked about saving my soul 
                                     C 
  But I just wanted to be whole with you 

  (G Em C D)(2x) 

              G                                Em 
  When I was reaching for the best you had to give 
            G                                 Em 
  I really wanted all your worst to fall in, dear 
          G 
  When I got ripped off your hands 
                      Em 
  Freezing hands out west 
               G 
  Was when my hunger for her 
                    Em 
  Drowned me up in dust 
              C 
  And now my fire grows as I walk down 
        D 
  Your lips are slow around your mouth 
     C 
  Inside this house 
                        D 
  Time has stopped for me 

                  Em 
  I was saved by salt 
             C 
  Sugar and pills 
                         D 
  Yeah, I was saved from all the things 
                                    C 
  That you could have possibly come after me 
                  Em 
  I was saved by salt 
                  C

               D

                                     C    G
