Em
Got your finger on the trigger
Your cold eyes taking aim
You took a shot at my heart
Let the bullets fly
Tell me has one of them got my name

Chorus:
Em              Am
What about the heartache
Am
What about the emptiness inside
Em
It doesn't just fade away
Am
Turning the knife, how much can I bleed
F                G
The cut runs deep
Em       D    Em
The cut runs deep
Em       D    Em
The cut runs deep

I can't find no salvation
Can't find no healing touch
Reaching out for mercy
A stranger in your eyes
I want you too much

Chorus
