Hmm. I really wish I could figure out what tuning
this song is in... but I think this is more accurate
than my last tab.
E B C#m A
C#m A
I dream a lot, I know you say I've got to get away.
E B
"The world is not yours for the taking" is all you ever say.
C#m A
I know I'm not the best for you, but promise that you'll stay.
E
'Cause if I watch you go, you'll see me wasting,
B
You'll see me wasted away
E B
'Cause today, you walked out of my life
C#m A
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
C#m A E B
I'm not living this life.

C#m A
Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain
E B
And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same.
C#m A
These streets are filled with memories both perfect and in pain
E B
And all I wanna do is love you but I'm the only one to blame.
E B
'Cause today, you walked out of my life
C#m A
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life.
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 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.
E B
'Cause today, you walked out of my life
(stay with me, or watch me bleed)
C#m A
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
(I need you just to breathe)
E (E B C#m A E)
I'm not living this life.
