[Intro]
G A D G A D
[Verse 1]
D G A Every time they knock me down D I rise to my feet G Every time I take a bullet A They find a medic D To patch me up real neat G A You only have to run the numbers to know Bm E Sooner or later everybody's gotta go G A Bleed out
[Chorus]
D I'm gonna bleed out G A I'm gonna bleed out D I'm gonna bleed out G A There won't be anyone waiting to rush me to safety Bm E I'm gonna let the long night take me G A Bleed out D I'm gonna bleed out
[Verse 2]
D G A Every bender needs a black out D Every gauge deserves a top line G Every story needs a child A D Who believes the brave hero's gonna be just fine G A You just have to check the papers to see Bm E Some of these children end up just like me G A Bleed out
[Chorus]
D I'm gonna bleed out G A I'm gonna bleed out D I'm gonna bleed out G A I'm gonna make a gigantic mess Bm E But it meant something important I guess G A Bleed out D I'm gonna bleed out
[Verse 3]
D G Somewhere beyond imagination A D Somewhere beneath the final delta G A Washed up on the banks of a river at the height of the storm D Everybody's seeking shelter G A Bm I'm gonna dive right in E I can't swim G A Bleed out
[Chorus]
D I'm gonna bleed out G A I'm gonna bleed out D I'm gonna bleed out G A There's gonna be a big spot where I once lay Bm E And there won't even be a spot one day G A Bleed out D I'm gonna bleed out

[Verse 4]
D G There was a chance we'd make it through this A D It's safe to say now that we've missed it G A And I won't ever lose hope and I haven't lost hope D I'm just realistic G A I will go down punching, but I will go down Bm E And my corner men won't bring me back around G A Bleed out D I'm gonna bleed out
[Verse 5]
D G The blood is pooling underneath me A D Flowing freely from my mouth G A D You wanna call a med evac now D Knock yourself out G A You can tell 'em when they get here you tried Bm E But the smallest hole was several inches wide G A Bleed out D I'm gonna bleed out
[Verse 6]
D G I'm gonna head into the darkness A D I'm gonna head into the light G A D I will surrender to the slow lurching tide D Drift off into the night G A There won't be any words of wisdom from me Bm E Just a lake of blood for all the world to see G A Bleed out
[Chorus]
D I'm gonna bleed out G A I'm gonna bleed out D I'm gonna bleed out G A I'm gonna tell my friends to all go to hell Bm E And wish my enemies well G A Bleed out D I'm gonna bleed out G A I'm gonna bleed out D I'm gonna bleed out G If it's blood you want A Bm I've got plenty of it E You're gonna love it G A Bleed out D I'm gonna bleed out
