Capo on 2nd fret
              
 
 
 
 
Intro: F C Am G (4x) 
 
          F 
Close my eyes 
          C 
Feel you sigh 
  Am                   G 
A desperate aching wonder 
          F      C                   Am  G 
Will you ever, ever let me off my knees? 
 
       F 
Wide awake 
       C 
Like a dream 
   Am          G 
As simple as a secret 
       F     C                   Am 
Being told, told to everyone but me 
Em 
Will I 
 
F      Am 
Bleed out 
C                      G 
I gave it all but you can't stop taking from me 
F        Am        
And way down I know 
G                 G 
You know where to cut me with your eyes closed 
F      Am 
Bleed out 
C                          G 
It won't be long 'til this heart stops beating 
F 
So don't let me 
Am                G 
Bleed out here alone 
 
     F     C Am G 
Hear my plea       x2 
 
F 
Sudden rain 
C          Am 
Coming down 
    G                 F 
It all comes back to me 
       C              Am  G 
Waking up, falling down 
 
F            C        Am 
Another day come undone 
        G                     F 
I keep trying to heal your pain 
      C               Am 
In return, you cut me over and over 
Em 
One more time and I will 
 
F      Am 
Bleed out 
C                      G 
I gave it all but you can't stop taking from me 
F        Am        
And way down I know 
G                 G 
You know where to cut me with your eyes closed 
F      Am 
Bleed out 
C                         G 
It won't be long 'til our heart stops beating 
F 
So don't let me 
Am                G 
Bleed out here alone 
 
F          C                        Am   Em 
I finally feel like I'm supposed to be, yeah, oh 
F          C               Am          G 
Don't you take this moment away from me 
F                   C 
Before you kill me won't you, 
           Am             Em 
Won't you look back in my eyes and watch me 
 
F      Am 
Bleed out 
C                      G 
I gave it all but you can't stop taking from me 
F        Am        
And way down I know 
G                 G 
You know where to cut me with your eyes closed 
F      Am 
Bleed out 
C                        G 
It won't be long 'til my heart stops beating 
F 
So don't let me 
Am                G 
Bleed out here alone 
 
F      Am 
Bleed out 
C                      G 
I gave it all but you can't stop taking from me 
F        Am        
And way down I know 
G                 G 
You know where to cut me with your eyes closed 
F      Am 
Bleed out 
C                          G 
It won't be long 'til this heart stops beating 
F 
So don't let me 
Am                G 
Bleed out here alone
