Capo 2

[INTRO]
F G C x2
                         F     G
Every time they knock me down
                 C
I rise to my feet
                    F      
Every time I take a bullet
             G     C
They find a medic

To patch me up real neat
                         F          G
You only have to run the numbers to know
          Am                      D
Sooner or later everybody's gotta go
      F     G
Bleed out 
                 C
I'm gonna bleed out
                F     G
I'm gonna bleed out
                 C
I'm gonna bleed out
                         F                    G
There won't be anybody waiting to rush me to safety
   Am                        D
I'm gonna let the long night take me
      F     G
Bleed out
                 C
I'm gonna bleed out

                     F         G
Every bender needs a black out
                      C
Every gage deserves a top line
                    F 
Every story needs a child
        G              C
Who believes the brave hero's gonna be just fine
                           F           G
You just have to check the papers to see
              Am                         D
Some of these children end up just like me
       F    G
Bleed out
                 C
I'm gonna bleed out

                 F     G
I'm gonna bleed out
                 C
I'm gonna bleed out
           F               G
I'm gonna make a gigantic mess
        Am                          D
But it meant something important I guess
       F     G
Bleed out
                 C
I'm gonna bleed out

                       F      G
Somewhere beyond imagination
                              C
Somewhere beneath the final delta
                  F                        G                C
Washed up on the banks of a river at the high of the storm
                            F
Everybody's seeking shelter
                 G      Am
Gonna dive right in
           D
I can't swim
       F    G
Bleed out
                 C
I'm gonna bleed out

                 F     G
I'm gonna bleed out
                 C
I'm gonna bleed out
                   F                      G
There's gonna be a big spot where I once lay
                Am                 D
And there won't even be a spot one day
       F    G
Bleed out
                 C
I'm gonna bleed out

                                 F           G
There was a chance we'd make it through this
                                 C
It's safe to say now that we've missed it
                      F                        G     C
And I won't ever lose hope and I haven't lost hope
     
I'm just realistic
               F                        G
I will go down punching, but I will go down
       Am                              D
And my corner men won't bring me back around
       F    G
Bleed out
                 C
I'm gonna bleed out

                           F        G
The blood is pooling underneath me
                        C
Flowing freely from my mouth
                    F     G    C
You wanna call a medevac now

Knock yourself out
                          F             G
You can tell'em when they get here you tried
          Am                              D
But the smallest hole was several inches wide
       F     G
Bleed out
                 C
I'm gonna bleed out

                         F         G
I'm gonna head into the darkness
                         C
I'm gonna head into the light
                         F             G     C
I will surrender to the slow lurching tide
       
Drift off into the night
                              F         G
There won't be any words of wisdom from me
        Am                                 D
Just a lake of blood for all the world to see
       F    G
Bleed out
                 C
I'm gonna bleed out

                 F    G
I'm gonna bleed out
                 C
I'm gonna bleed out
           F                            G    Am
I'm gonna tell my friends to all go to hell
                     D
And wish my enemies well
       F    G
Bleed out
                 C
I'm gonna bleed out

                 F     G
I'm gonna bleed out
                 C
I'm gonna bleed out
         F          
If its blood you want
                   G    Am
I've got plenty of it
                  D
You're gonna love it
       F    G
Bleed out
                 C
I'm gonna bleed out
