I'm bleeding out

Is bring you down

I'll bleed out for

And I count my sins
G D
And I close my eyes and I take it in

I'm bleeding out

Em C
When the day has come
G D
That I've lost my way around
Em C
And the seasons stop
G D
And hide beneath the ground
Em C
When the sky turns grey
G D
And everything is screaming
Em C
I will reach inside
G D
Just to find my heart is beating
Em C
Oh you tell me to hold on
G D
Oh you tell me to hold on
Em C
But innocence is gone
G D
And what was right is wrong
Em C
Cause I'm bleeding out
G C
So if the last thing that I do

Is bring you down

And I count my sins

I'm bleeding out for you
Em
For you
Em C
When the hour is nigh
G D
And hopelessness is sinking in
Em C
And the wolves all cry
G D
To fill the night with hollering
Em C
When your eyes are red
G D
And emptiness is all you know
Em C
With the darkness fed
G D
I will be your scarecrow
Em C
You tell me to hold on
G D
Oh you tell me to hold on
Em C
But innocence is gone
G D
And what was right is wrong
Em C
Cause I'm bleeding out
G C
So if the last thing that I do
