*Note: If you play the chords the second way, and downtune your high E string to a D, it sounds closer to the actual recording. I'm not sure how he actually plays it.* D A Bm G

  Bm                               G
I dream a lot, I know you say I've got to get away.

     D                                     A
"The world is not yours for the taking" is all you ever say.

  Bm                                 G
I know I'm not the best for you, but promise that you'll stay.

            D
'Cause if I watch you go, you'll see me wasting,

       A
You'll see me wasted away

         D                          A
'Cause today, you walked out of my life

         Bm                            G
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife

                     Bm G D A
I'm not living this life.

    Bm                               G
Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain

       D                             A
And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same.

      Bm                                    G
These streets are filled with memories both perfect and in pain

          D                                A
And all I wanna do is love you but I'm the only one to blame.

         D                          A
'Cause today, you walked out of my life

         Bm                            G
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife

I'm not living this life.

            A
But what do I know, if you're leaving

All you did was stop the bleeding.

          Bm
But these scars will stay forever,

These scars will stay forever

          A
And these words have no meaning

If we cannot find the feeling

        G
That we held on to together

Try your hardest to remember

D
Stay with me,

   A
Or watch me bleed,

  Bm                 G
I need you just to breathe.

         D                          A      
'Cause today, you walked out of my life

(stay with me, or watch me bleed)

         Bm                          G
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife

(i need you just to breathe.)

                     D (D A Bm G D)
I'm not living this life.
