Secondhand Serenade - Like a Knife

intro D A Bm G

Bm G
i dream a lot , i know you say i`ve got to get away .
D A
`the world is not yours for the taking` is all you ever say .
Bm G
i know i`m not the best for you , but promise that you`ll stay .
D
`cause if i watch you go , you`ll see me wasting ,
A
you`ll see me wasted away

D A
`cause today , you walked out of my life
Bm G
`cause today , your words felt like a knife
Bm G D A
i`m not living this life .

Bm G
goodbyes are meant for lonely people standing in the rain
D A
and no matter where i go it`s always pouring all the same .
Bm G
these streets are filled with memories both perfect and in pain
D A
and all i wanna do is love you but i`m the only one to blame .

D A
`cause today , you walked out of my life
Bm G
`cause today , your words felt like a knife
i`m not living this life .

A
but what do i know , if you`re leaving
all you did was stop the bleeding .
Bm
but these scars will stay forever ,
these scars will stay forever
A
and these words have no meaning
if we cannot find the feeling
G
that we held on to together
try your hardest to remember

D
stay with me ,
A
or watch me bleed ,
Bm G
i need you just to breathe .

D A
`cause today , you walked out of my life
( stay with me , or watch me bleed )
Bm G
`cause today , your words felt like a knife
( i need you just to breathe . )
D ( D A Bm G D )
i`m not living this life
