Intro: Silence
[A] Blood stained sheets
What have I [C#m]gotten
myself into this time?
I [A]close my eyes and
I believe you
If [C#m]I should die I'll


B-B-B C#m---B-B-B-C#m never leave you
B-B-B--A----B--B-B-C#m---B-B-B-C#m-B-B-B


Verse 1:
A(hold)
I wish that I could walk away
[C#m]guilt rests in my hands
[A] I know that it is for the [C#m]better
I never said that i'd compro[A]mise
between fact or fiction
[C#m] there's so much better out there
[A]than you and me
I could [C#m]end this in seconds
I know it but I don't dare

Refrain:
[A] Another sentence this
all could be over
Your words are like weapons
C#m(hold)
why can't you protect me

Chorus 1:
[A] Blood stained sheets
What have I [C#m]gotten
myself into this time?
I [A]close my eyes and
I believe you
If [C#m]I should die I'll
never [B-B-B]leave you

Verse 1:
A(hold)
I wish that you would walk away
[C#m] red still lines your hands
[A] I know that it's
still for the [C#m]better
I never said that
i'd stand a[A]side
between you and the door
[C#m] there's nothing
better out there
[A]than you and me
I could [C#m]end this in seconds
I know it but I don't dare

(Repeat Refrain and Chorus 1)

Chorus 2:
[A] Blood stained sheets
It didn't matter when
[C#m]I was calling
out your name
I [A]felt the wound
grow ever slowly
[C#m]closer than you'd
ever hold me

Bridge:
[C#m] Its a work of art
the way this fell a[B]part
was the design too
faded from the s[A]tart
or was the artist
just too blinded by this
[C#m] no its common sense I
lack the confi[B]dence
still i'll confess all
these things to [A]you to [B]you

Interlude: A(hold)---B-B-B

Verse 3:
[A] take a look at yourself
and tell me what do you see
I'd take a bullet for you
you'd put a bullet through me
[C#m] and as I lay on the floor
with this hole in my chest
how will you walk from the truth
with all that [B-B-B]blood on your [A]dress
And everything that you want
is everything that I need
I would have gave it to you
but you'd have take it from [C#m]me
and every word that you said
it brought me closer to sin
I close my eyes and pretend
its all fading

(Repeat Refrain and Chorus 1 and Chorus 2)

Outro:
[C#m] So Why we go
B A(hold)
If you go within
