Hmm. I really wish I could figure out what tuning
this song is in... but I think this is more accurate
than my last tab.

E B C#m A


  C#m                              A
I dream a lot, I know you say I've got to get away.
     E                                     B
"The world is not yours for the taking" is all you ever say.
  C#m                                A
I know I'm not the best for you, but promise that you'll stay.
            E
'Cause if I watch you go, you'll see me wasting,
       B
You'll see me wasted away


         E                          B
'Cause today, you walked out of my life
         C#m                           A
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
                     C#m A E B
I'm not living this life.


    C#m                              A
Goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain
       E                             B
And no matter where I go it's always pouring all the same.
      C#m                                   A
These streets are filled with memories both perfect and in pain
          E                                B
And all I wanna do is love you but I'm the only one to blame.


         E                          B
'Cause today, you walked out of my life
         C#m                           A
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
I'm not living this life.


            B
But what do I know, if you're leaving
All you did was stop the bleeding.
          C#m
But these scars will stay forever,
These scars will stay forever
          B
And these words have no meaning
If we cannot find the feeling
        A
That we held on to together
Try your hardest to remember


E
Stay with me,
   B
Or watch me bleed,
  C#m                A
I need you just to breathe.


         E                          B      
'Cause today, you walked out of my life
(stay with me, or watch me bleed)
         C#m                         A
'Cause today, your words felt like a knife
(I need you just to breathe)
                     E (E B C#m A E)
I'm not living this life.
