  Am                               F
I dream a lot, I know you say I've got to get away.

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

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

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

       F
You'll see me wasted away

         C                          F

I'm not living this life.

    Am                               F
Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain

       C                             F
And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same.

      Am                                    F
These streets are filled with memories both perfect and in pain

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

But what do I know, if you're leaving

All you did was stop the bleeding.

          Am
But these scars will stay forever,

These scars will stay forever

          F
And these words have no meaning

If we cannot find the feeling

        F
That we held on to together

Try your hardest to remember

C
Stay with me,

   F
Or watch me bleed,

  Am                 F
I need you just to breathe.

'Cause today, you walked out of my life

         Am                          F
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife

(i need you just to breathe.)

                     C (C F Am F C)
I'm not living this life.
