**In the 2nd chorus he now strums the chords while still making a percussive sound at least until "I'm without your kisses" before fully strumming. [Chorus] Am7 G You watch me bleed until I can't breathe C I'm shaking, falling onto my knees F Am7 G And now that I'm without your kisses C F I'll be needing stitches Am7 I'm tripping over myself, G C I'm aching begging you to come help F Am7 G And now that I'm without your kisses C F I'll be needing stitches [Instrumental Am7 G C F 2x [Bridge] Am7 Needle and the thread, G Gotta get you out of my head C Needle and the thread, F Gonna wind up dead Am Needle and the thread, G Gotta get you out of my head C Needle and the thread F Gonna wind up dead Repeat 2x [Chorus] Am7 G You watch me bleed until I can't breathe C I'm shaking, falling onto my knees F Am7 G And now that I'm without your kisses C F I'll be needing stitches Am7 I'm tripping over myself, G C I'm aching begging you to come help F Am7 G And now that I'm without your kisses C F G Am7 I'll be needing stitches *just listen to the song to get the timing right* :) Thank you. ************************************ | x Dead note | (n) Ghost note ************************************
