  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
  I was saved by her swinging
               D
  She talked about saving my soul
                                     C    G
  But I just wanted to be whole with you
