This is the song in a lower key, but the chords are more accurate to the melody
than other versions.
Standard Tuning
Intro: (x2)
[Verse 1]:
Little girls don't know how to be sweet girls.
Mama didn't teach me.
Little boys don't know how to treat little girls.
Daddy didn't show me.
Face down, on top of your bed
Oh why did I give it up to you?
Is this how I shoot myself up high,
just high enough to get through?
Again, for false affection.
Again, we break down inside.
[Chorus]:
Love, save the empty-ay.
Love, save the empty-ay,
And save me.
[Verse 2]:
Sad boy, you stare up at the sky
when no one's looking back at you.
You wear your every last disguise.
You're flying, then you fall through.
Again, for false attention.
Again, you're breaking inside.
[Chorus]:
Love, save the empty-ay.
Love, save the empty-ay.
Save me.
Love, save the empty-ay.
Love, save the empty-ay.
[Bridge]:
Scars feel like knives,
they tell us what we're fighting.
Storm, wait outside.
Oh, love, hold us together.
[Chorus]:
Love, save the empty-ay.
Love, save the empty-ay.
Love, save the empty.
Love, save the empty.
Save me.
And save me.
(x2)
