Verse 1:
Am
The cold concrete
cuts against her back
F
And her spirit spills with
blood on to the pavement
Am
Hands tied so tight
behind your neck
F
And a silence falls
and everything changes
Am
Everything dies to you
F
Nothing's alive to you anymore
I guess you've gotten more
than you may have wanted
Chorus:
Dm
If I could take your
A#
pain away (Pain away)
F
I would scream for you
Gm
And I`ll bleed for you
(For you feel this way)
So you`ll never feel
Dm
this way (Again)
When you're in my
A#
arms (Again)
F
I would scream for you
Gm
I will bleed for you
Verse 2:
Am
She drowns herself until
the images erase
F
But the skin is bruised
all along her thighs
Am
Nightmares repeat refrain
the memories remain
F
The mental photographs
haunting all the time
Am
She shuts her eyes to you
She tries to hide from you
F
She falls asleep into
dreams where she is safe
Bridge:
F
So put the weight
on my shoulders
A#
And the pain in my heart
Tie the knots in my stomach
F
And let it tear me apart
A#
So I could be
Everything you need
Dm
Put the weight
F
on my shoulders
A#
And the pain in my heart
C
Tie the knots in my stomach
DmF
Let it tear me apart
A#C
So tear me apart
You say you are
Verse 3:
Am
And this silence strips me bare
F
And the body pins me down
Ive never been so scared to breathe
Am
Afraid to make a sound
F
But all I know
Kick and scream and bite and bleed
and make believe it's all a dream

I will bleed for you
