Lyrics

I’m (Fm)bleed ing out; so if the (Ab)last thing that I do

is (Fm)bring you down,

I’ll (Ab)bleed out for you.

So I (Fm)bare my skin and I (Db)count my sins, and I (Ab)close my eyes and I (Eb)take it in.

I’m (Fm)bleed ing out

I’m (Ab)bleed ing out for you,

for (Fm)you.

When the day has come that I’ve lost my way a round, ing in, and the sea sons stop

and (Ab)hide be neath the ground; ler ing; when the sky turns gray

and (Ab)ev ’ry thing is scream ing, know, I will reach in side just to find my heart is beat ing.

Oh, you tell me to hold on; oh, you tell me to hold on; but in no cence is gone, and what was right is wrong.

’Cause I’m bleed

ing out; so if the (Ab)last thing that I do is to bring

you down,

I’ll (Ab)bleed out for you.

So I (Fm)bare my skin and I (Db)count my sins, and I (Ab)close my eyes and I (Eb)take it in.

And I’m bleed

ing out;

I’m (Ab)bleed ing out for you, When for hour is nigh that and hope less ness is sink ing in, and the wolves all cry

to (Ab)fill the night with hol ler ing; when your eyes are red

and (Ab)emp ti ness is all you know, with the dark ness fed, just to find will be your scare crow.

Oh, You tell me to hold on; oh, you tell me to hold on; but in no cence is gone, and what was right is wrong.

’Cause I’m bleed

ing out; so if the (Ab)last thing that I do is to bring

you down,

I’ll (Ab)bleed out for you.

So I (Fm)bare my skin and I (Db)count my sins, and I (Ab)close my eyes and I (Eb)take it in.

And I’m bleed

ing out;

I’m (Ab)bleed ing out for you, When the hour is nigh

for (Fm)you.

(I’m (Ab)bleed ing out for you,

for (Fm)you.)

(I’m (Ab)bleed ing out for you,

for (Ab)bleed ing out for you.) ’Cause I’m bleed

for (Fm)you.

(Fm)you.
