I'm not sure how he actually plays it.* D A Bm G Bm G I dream a lot, I know you say I've got to get away. D A "The world is not yours for the taking" is all you ever say. Bm G I know I'm not the best for you, but promise that you'll stay. D 'Cause if I watch you go, you'll see me wasting, A You'll see me wasted away D A 'Cause today, you walked out of my life Bm G 'Cause today, your words felt like a knife Bm G D A I'm not living this life. Bm G Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain D A And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same. Bm G These streets are filled with memories both perfect and in pain D A And all I wanna do is love you but I'm the only one to blame. D A 'Cause today, you walked out of my life Bm G 'Cause today, your words felt like a knife I'm not living this life. A But what do I know, if you're leaving All you did was stop the bleeding. Bm But these scars will stay forever, These scars will stay forever A And these words have no meaning If we cannot find the feeling G That we held on to together Try your hardest to remember D Stay with me, A Or watch me bleed, Bm G I need you just to breathe. D A 'Cause today, you walked out of my life (stay with me, or watch me bleed) Bm G 'Cause today, your words felt like a knife (i need you just to breathe.) D (D A Bm G D) I'm not living this life. =============================================================================== www.TAB6.com
