[Verse 1]
Am G C F
I thought that I've been hurt before
Am G C F
But no one's ever left me quite this sore
Am G C F
Your words cut deeper than a knife
Am G C F
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life
F G Am
Got a feeling that I'm going under but I know that I'll make it out alive
F G Am N.C.
If I quit calling you my lover, move on
[Chorus]
Am G C F
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe, I'm shaking, falling onto my knees
Am G F C
And now that I'm without your kisses, I'll be needing stitches
Am G C F
Tripping over myself, aching, begging you to come help
Am G F C
And now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches

[Verse 2]
Am G C F
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Am G C F
Oh, you lured me in, I couldn't sense the pain
Am G C F
Your bitter heart cold to the touch
Am G C F
Now I'm gonna reap what I sow I'm left seeing red on my own
F G Am
Got a feeling that I'm going under but I know that I'll make it out alive
F G Am N.C.
If I quit calling you my lover, move on
[Chorus]
Am G C F
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe, I'm shaking, falling onto my knees
Am G F C
And now that I'm without your kisses, I'll be needing stitches
Am G C F
Tripping over myself, aching, begging you to come help
Am G F C
And now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches

I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches (and now that)
I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches
