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 

               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
