h – hammer on
/ – slide

verse – repeat G C Em Bm
there’s a sickness in my soul
and i don’t know but i been told
it’s incurable

there’s a darkness in my heart
slowly tearin’ me apart
it’s unbearable

drop of blood , a lake of tears
and baby , after all these years
you’re still beautiful

and i’ve been loved and i’ve been used
cut wide open , scarred and bruised
i’m unbreakable

chorus – C Em Bm C
flesh , it heals i know
hearts , they never mend
lovers come and go , girl
right now i need a friend

( i play this after every chorus , i like it
you don’t have to slide to 5 , you can just play the G note again )

verse – again G C Em Bm
walk for miles , talk for days
and i keep trying to change my ways
it’s so difficult

you kick and scream
you curse and yell
tell me i should go to hell
it’s so typical

touch my heart
feel my pain
let me know i’m not insane
you’re so merciful

break your heart , i cheat , i lie
and honestly i don’t know why
i’m so pitiful

chorus – C Em Bm C
flesh , it heals i know
hearts , they never mend
lovers come and go , girl
right now i need a friend , yeah
