This is the song in a lower key, but the chords are more accurate to the melody 
than other versions.

Standard Tuning

Intro: G C Em C (x2)

[Verse 1]:
G                              C         C2
Little girls don't know how to be sweet girls.
Em                    G
Mama didn't teach me.
G                               C           C2
Little boys don't know how to treat little girls.
Em                   G
Daddy didn't show me.
G                          C
Face down, on top of your bed
       Em                      G
Oh why did I give it up to you?
G                     C        C2
Is this how I shoot myself up high,
      Em                        G
just high enough to get through?
Em
Again, for false affection.
D           G           C
Again, we break down inside.


[Chorus]:
G C              Em  C
Love, save the empty-ay.
G C              Em  C
Love, save the empty-ay,
         G
And save me.

[Verse 2]:
G                     C      C2
Sad boy, you stare up at the sky
    Em                           G
when no one's looking back at you.
G                    C        C2
You wear your every last disguise.
       Em                            G
You're flying, then you fall through.
Em
Again, for false attention.
D              G         C
Again, you're breaking inside. 


[Chorus]:
G C              Em  C
Love, save the empty-ay.
G C              Em  C
Love, save the empty-ay.
     G
Save me.
G C              Em  C
Love, save the empty-ay.
G C              Em  C
Love, save the empty-ay.


[Bridge]:

Dm                Am
Scars feel like knives,
               C
they tell us what we're fighting.
Dm              Am
Storm, wait outside.
      C
Oh, love, hold us together.


[Chorus]:
G C              Em  C
Love, save the empty-ay.
G C              Em  C
Love, save the empty-ay.
G C            Em  C
Love, save the empty.
G C            Em  C
Love, save the empty.
Em   C 
Save me.
Em       C 
And save me.

G C Em C (x2)
