Verse: (strumming)
C#m
I dream a lot, I know you say
A
I’ve got to get away
E
The world is not yours for the taking
B
Is all you ever say
C#m
I know I’m not the best for you
A
But promise that you’ll stay
E
Cause if I watch you go
You’ll see me wasting
B
You’ll see me wasting away
Chorus:
E
‘Cause today
B
You walked out of my life
C#m
‘Cause today
A
Your words felt like a knife
C#m – A – E - B
I’m not living this life
C#m
Goodbyes are meant for lonely people
A
Standing in the rain
E
And no matter where I go
B
It’s always pouring all the same
C#m
These streets are filled with memories
A
Both perfect and in pain
E
And all I wanna do is love you
B
But I’m the only one to blame
Chorus
B
But what do I know if you’re leaving
All you did was stop the bleeding
C#m
But these scars will stay forever
These scars will stay forever
B
And these words they have no meaning
If we cannot find the feeling
A
That we held on to together
Try your hardest to remember
E
Stay with me
B
Or watch me bleed
C#m A
I need you just to breathe
(Chorus)
End: ( repeat the intro[plucking] quietly )
then strum E once ...
End on E
