Verse 1: (intro riff) End on G
Make me feel like a beggar
Make me feel like a thief
Make me feel like a battle
That can not end in peace
Make me feel like running
As if I’ve lost my nerve
Make me feel like crying
Tears I don’t deserve
Chorus: Power chords with thick distortion
D
Please bleed
Bb A D
So I know that you are real
Bb A D
So I know that you can feel
Bb A C (G|--10-9-|)
The damage that you’ve done
D G Bb (harmonic 7th fret top e string)
Oh who have I become?
D G Bb
To myself I am numb
G Bb
I am numb
G Bb C (G|--10-9-|)
I am numb
Verse 2:
Is this really living?
Sometimes it’s hard to tell
Or is this just the kinder
Gentler hell
Turn out the lights
And let me stare into your soul
I was born and bled
For you to hold
Chorus

Never said thank you
Never said please
Never gave
A reason to believe
So as it stands
I’ll be waiting on my knees
Good lovers
Make great enemies
