Verse: (strumming)

  C#m
I dream a lot, I know you say
     A
I’ve got to get away
    E
The world is not yours for the taking
   B
Is all you ever say
  C#m
I know I’m not the best for you
    A
But promise that you’ll stay
           E
Cause if I watch you go

You’ll see me wasting 
       B
You’ll see me wasting away


Chorus:
         E
‘Cause today 
                      B
You walked out of my life
        C#m
‘Cause today 
                         A
Your words felt like a knife
                    C#m – A – E - B
I’m not living this life


   C#m
Goodbyes are meant for lonely people 
A
Standing in the rain
       E
And no matter where I go 
            B
It’s always pouring all the same
     C#m
These streets are filled with memories
     A
Both perfect and in pain
          E
And all I wanna do is love you
            B
But I’m the only one to blame


 Chorus 

            B
But what do I know if you’re leaving

All you did was stop the bleeding
         C#m
But these scars will stay forever

These scars will stay forever
          B
And these words they have no meaning

If we cannot find the feeling
        A
That we held on to together

Try your hardest to remember


E
Stay with me
   B
Or watch me bleed
 C#m               A
I need you just to breathe


(Chorus) 

End: ( repeat the intro[plucking] quietly )
then strum E once ...


End on E
