I Havent Been Taking Care Of Myself Chords

Didn't see chords for this, so I decided to figure it out- couldn't quite get the strumming pattern down in the verses because of the swing, but it somewhat resembles the vocals in the outro.Was this info helpful?

[Verse 1]
G D
You were my drug, now I'm withdrawing
Em C
When you're in my blood, nothing's ever boring
G D
I feel it through my veins, so eager to please
Em C
You give me chest pains, and let my heart rate ease
D Em
Is this blood on my hands or is it just red wine?
D C
I find Iâm thinking 'bout you nearly all of the night
D Em
I make up these excuses for the reasons we should meet
D C
Is this an addiction or is this just a repeat?
[Chorus]
G D Em C
I haven't been taking care of myself
G D Em C
I've forgotten what it's like to be in good health
G D
I've gained weight and I drink too much
Em C
Maybe that's why you don't love me as much
G D Em C
I need to start taking care of myself
[Verse 2]
G D
Distracting me from what's important
Em C
But you don't care, and I'm losing focus
G D
You push me to the edge, and then you pull me back
Em C
I swear to God, I'll have a heart attack
D Em
My skin's breaking out and I don't like what I see
D C
When I walk past shiny surfaces, I don't like being me
D Em
You say that you want me but you don't act like you do
D C
I'm pretty sure my mum said be careful around you
{Chorus}
G D Em C
I haven't been taking care of myself
G D Em C
I've forgotten what it's like to be in good health
G D
I've gained weight and I drink too much
Em C
Maybe that's why you don't love me as much
G D Em C
I need to start taking care of myself
[Bridge]
G D
I don't care that all my clothes
Em C
Smell like your second-hand smoke
G D
I'll make any compromise
Em C
If it keeps you by my side
G D Bm C
I don't know why
{Chorus}
G D Em C
I haven't been taking care of myself
G D Em C
I've forgotten what it's like to be in good health
G D
I've gained weight and I drink too much
Em C
Maybe that's why you don't love me as much
G D Em C
I need to start taking care of myself
{Outro}
G D
Do da da, do da da
Em C
Do da da do wah-oh!
G D
Do da da, do da da
Em C
Do da da do wah-oh!
G D
Do da da, do da da
Em C
Do da da do wah-oh!
G D
Do da da, do da da
Em C
Do da da do wah-oh!
