Em                      C
Heaven comes to he who waits
Em                     C
But I know I'm getting nowhere
Am                          G
And all the deeds of yesterday
             B7                Em
Have really helped to pave my way

Though there's no one near me now
How come everyone can touch me
You see the torture on my brow
Relates to neither here nor now

Chorus:
Em              C
Watch me bleed, Bleed forever
Em              C
Watch me bleed, Bleed forever
Am                               G
Although my face is straight it lies
         B7                 Em
My body feels the pain and cries

Here the table is not bare
I am full but feeling empty
For all the warmth it feels so cold
For one so young I feel so old

Chorus:
Watch me bleed, bleed forever
Watch me bleed, bleed forever
It's not allowed to be unkind
But still the hate lives in my mind

Cm                              A#
I'll make no noise I'll hide my pain
                               G#
I'll close my eyes I won't complain
                                   G
I'll lie right back and take the blame
                            Dm
And try to tell myself I'm living
                                C
And when it's all been said or done
                          A#
Where do I go? Where do I run?
                        Dm
What's left of me or anyone?
                          Em
When we've denied the hurting?

Dm                              C
And when it's all been said or done
                           A#
Where do I go, where do I run?
                     A
What's left of me or anyone?
                          Em
When we've denied the hurting?

Chorus:
Watch me bleed, bleed forever
Watch me bleed, bleed forever
And all the deeds of yesterday
Have really helped to pave my way

Watch me bleed, bleed forever
Watch me bleed, bleed forever
And all the deeds of yesterday
Have really helped to pave my way
