I’m 100% with the verses and chorus… But with the bridge 95% sure I am… Enjoy…
Intro: Eb-Bb-Cm-G#
Eb Bb
I dream a lot, I know you say I've got to get away.
Cm G#
"The world is not yours for the taking" is all you ever say.
Eb Bb
I know I'm not the best for you, but promise that you'll stay.
Cm
Cause if I watch you go, you'll see me wasting,
G#
You'll see me wasted away
Eb Bb
Cause today, you walked out of my life
Cm G#
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
Eb-Bb-Cm-G#
I'm not living this life.
Verse 2:(do the verse 1 chord pattern)
Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain
And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same.
These streets are filled with memories both perfect and in pain
And all I wanna do is love you but I'm the only one to blame.
Chorus: (do the chorus chord pattern)
Cause today, you walked out of my life
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life.
Bridge:
Cm
But what do I know, if you're leaving
Bb
All you did was stop the bleeding.
G#
But these scars will stay forever,
Eb
These scars will stay forever
Cm
And these words have no meaning
Bb
If we cannot fight the feeling
G#
That we held on to together
Eb
Try your hardest to remember
Eb
Stay with me,
Bb
Or watch me bleed,
Cm G#
I need you just to breathe.
Eb Bb
Cause today, you walked out of my life
(Stay with me, or watch me bleed)
Cm G#
Cause today, your words felt like a knife
(I need you just to breathe.)
