Intro: Em7 D4 G C9
Em7 D4
I thought that I've been hurt
G C9
Before
Em D
But no one's ever left me
G C
Quite this sore
Em7 D4
Your words cut deeper than
G C9
A knife
Em7 D4
Now I need someone to breathe me
G C9
Back to life
C9 D4
Got a feeling that I'm going under
Em7 D4
But I know that I'll make it out alive
C9 D4
If I quit calling you my lover
Em7 D4
Move on
Em7
You watch me bleed until
D4
I can't breathe
G C9
Shaking, falling onto my knees
Em7
And now that I'm
D4
Without your kisses
C9 G D4
I'll be needing stitches
Em7 D4
Tripping over myself
G C9
Aching, begging you to come help
Em7
And now that I'm
D4
Without your kisses
C9 G Em7
I'll be needing stitches
Em7 D4 G C9
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Em7
Oh, you lured me in
D4 G C9
I couldn't sense the pain
Em D4 G C9
Your bitter heart cold to the touch
Em7 D4
Now I'm gonna reap what I saw
G C9
I'm left seeing red on my own
C9 D4
Got a feeling that I'm going under
Em7 D4
But I know that I'll make it out alive
C9 D4
If I quit calling you my lover
Em7 D4
Move on
Em7
You watch me bleed until
D4
I can't breathe
G C9
Shaking, falling onto my knees
Em7
And now that I'm
D4
Without your kisses
C9 G D4
