Em D
I thought that I've been hurt
G C
Before
Em D
But no one's ever left me
G C
Quite this sore
Em D
Your words cut deeper than
G C
A knife
Em D
Now I need someone to breathe me
G C
Back to life
 
C D
Got a feeling that I'm going under
Em
But I know that I'll make it out alive
C D
If I quit calling you my lover
Em D
Move on
 
Em
You watch me bleed until
D
I can't breathe
G C
Shaking, falling onto my knees
Em
And now that I'm
D
Without your kisses
C G
I'll be needing stitches
Em D
Tripping over myself
G C
Aching, begging you to come help
Em
And now that I'm
D
Without your kisses
C G
I'll be needing stitches
 
Em D G C
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Em
Oh, you lured me in
D G C
I couldn't sense the pain
Em D G C
Your bitter heart cold to the touch
Em D
Now I'm gonna reap what I saw
G C
I'm left seeing red on my own
 
C D
Got a feeling that I'm going under
Em
But I know that I'll make it out alive
C D
If I quit calling you my lover
Em D
Move on

You watch me bleed until
D
I can't breathe

Shaking, falling onto my knees
Em
And now that I'm
D
Without your kisses
C G
I'll be needing stitches
Em D
Tripping over myself
G C
Aching, begging you to come help
Em
And now that I'm
D
Without your kisses
C G
I'll be needing stitches

Needle and the thread

Gonna wind up dead
