Got a feel in’ that I’m (A)go in’ un der.

But I know that I’ll (A)make it out a live if I quit call ing (A)you my lov er and move on.

You watch me (Bm)bleed un til I can’t breathe,

And now that (Bm)I’m with out your kiss (A)es, (G)I’ll be need ing stitch (A)es.

(Bm)Trip pin’ o ver my self,

(D)Beg ging you to come help.

And now that (Bm)I’m with out your kiss (A)es, (G)I’ll be need ing stitch (A)es.

Just like a (A)moth drawn to a flame.

Oh, you lured me in, I could n’t sense the pain.

Your bit ter heart, cold to the touch.

Now I’m gon na reap what I sow.

I’m left see in’ red on my own.

Nee dle and the thread, got (A5)ta get you out of my head.
