secondhand serenade - Like a knife - guitar chords

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.
