Nobody needs savingG  
Just a little bit of empathy.

[Intro]

D A Em G

[Verse 1]

D A

Listening to red house

Sitting in my white shirt

When I thought about the grass stains

Thought about the red dirt.

D A

It's funny when Spring blooms

The funny way the birds sing

I always think I'm gonna sing too

But I forget the melody.

[Chorus]

D A

La, da, da, da.

Or something like that.

[Verse 2]

D A Em

High school's been dead now for ten years

Isn't that some shit?

D A Em

And from here on out you'll, you'll keep on losing things

So get used to it.

D A Em

She said she wished we lived different lives

Now that's some shit

D A Em

And the only thing I'm good for is a melody and some poor advice

So here it is.

[Chorus]

D A

La, da, da, da.

Oh I forget.

D A

La, da, da, da.

Or something like that.

[Bridge]

D A

Listening to red house

Sitting in my white shirt

See every day's a funeral

Or every day's a new birth.

D A

If you're not everything

You're nothing till you try to be

Nobody needs saving

Just a little bit of empathy.

[Outro]

D A Em G

You can't save the ones you love,

D A Em

You can't save the ones you love,

But who would really want to?

D A Em

You can't save the ones you love,

But who would really want to?

D A Em G

You can't save the ones you love.
