         Cm             G#
Close my eyes, Feel you sigh
   D#
A desperate aching wonder
         Cm    G#                  D#
Will you ever, ever let me off my knees?
      Cm            G#
Wide awake, Like a dream
    D#          A#
As simple as a secret
       G#           D#               A#
Being told, told to everyone but me Will I

Chorus:
G#     D#
Bleed out
A#                     Cm                    G#
I gave it all but you can't stop taking from me
         D#      A#
And way down I know
                  Cm
You know where to cut me with your eyes closed
G#    D#
Bleed out
A#                        Cm
It wont be long til this heart stops beating
    G#            D#             A#
So don't let me bleed out here alone
     G#     D# A# Cm
Hear my plea
               G#     D# A#
won't you hear my plea

Sudden rain coming down
It all comes back to me
Waking up, falling down
Another day come undone
I keep trying to heal your pain
In return, you cut me over and over
One more time and I will

Chorus:
Bleed out
I gave it all, but you can't stop taking from me
And way down, I know
You know where to cut me with your eyes closed
Bleed out
It won't be long'til my heart stops beating
So don't let me, don't leave me bleeding alone

Fm         G#                        D#       A#
I finally feel like I'm supposed to be, yeah, oh
Fm         G#                D#         A#
Don't you take this moment away from me
      G#
but before you kill me wont you
         A#
wont you look back in my eyes and watch me

Chorus:
Bleed out?
I gave it all, but you can't stop taking from me
And way down, I know
You know where to cut me with your eyes closed
Bleed out
It won't be long 'til my heart stops beating
So don't leave me, don't let me bleed out here alone
Hear my plea

Bleed out
I gave it all, but you can't stop taking from me
And way down, I know
You know where to cut me with your eyes closed
Bleed out
It won't be long 'til this heart stops beating
So don't leave me, don't let me bleed out here alone
