No - not really anyhow. Oxygen is brought to the lungs by breathing in air. The lungs function as an exchange system which loads up the red blood cells with oxygen. So lungs give oxygen to red blood cells which then deliver the oxygen to all the parts of the body.

What takes oxygen to all the cells in your body?

In case of human being you have red blood cells in your blood. They contain haemoglobin. This can carry seventy times more oxygen than plasma can carry. ( Say about 280 ml/ 100 ml of blood.) The bonding of oxygen is strong enough to hold the oxygen at lungs and to carry it in blood. Here the oxygen concentration is high. This bonding is loose enough to give oxygen at proximal end of the capillaries. Here oxygen concentration is low. This oxygen is carried through the interstitial fluid to the cells.
