Tuning: Capo on 1st
D A Bm G or like this:
e|-2---0---2---3-| |-0---0---0---0-| so it's actually B|-3---2---3---3-| |-3---3---3---3-| Dsus2 and Asus4 G|-2---2---4---0-| |-2---2---4---0-| D|-0---2---4---0-| |-0---2---4---0-| A|-x---0---2---2-| |-x---0---2---2-| E|-x---x---2---3-| |-x---x---x---3-|
*Note: If you play the chords the second way,
and downtune your high E string to a D,
it sounds closer to the actual recording.
I'm not sure how he actually plays it.*
[D] [A] [Bm] [G]
I [Bm]dream a lot, I know you say I've [G]got to get away.
"The [D]world is not yours for the taking" is [A]all you ever say.
I [Bm]know I'm not the best for you, but [G]promise that you'll stay.
'Cause if I [D]watch you go, you'll see me wasting,
You'll [A]see me wasted away
'Cause to[D]day, you walked out of my l[A]ife
'Cause to[Bm]day, your words felt like a kn[G]ife
I'm not living this l[Bm]ife[G].[D] [A]
Good[Bm]byes are meant for lonely people [G]standing in the rain
And no [D]matter where I go it's always [A]pouring all the same.
These [Bm]streets are filled with memories both [G]perfect and in pain
And all I [D]wanna do is love you but I'm the [A]only one to blame.
'Cause to[D]day, you walked out of my l[A]ife
'Cause to[Bm]day, your words felt like a kn[G]ife
I'm not living this life.
But what do [A]I know, if you're leaving
All you did was stop the bleeding.
But these [Bm]scars will stay forever,
These scars will stay forever
And these [A]words have no meaning
If we cannot find the feeling
That we [G]held on to together
Try your hardest to remember
[D]Stay with me,
Or [A]watch me bleed,
I [Bm]need you just to br[G]eathe.
'Cause to[D]day, you walked out of my l[A]ife
(stay with me, or watch me bleed)
'Cause to[Bm]day, your words felt like a [G]knife
(i need you just to breathe.)
I'm not living this l[D]if[(D]e. [A] [Bm] [G] [D)]
