Intro: G  A  D  G  A  D

Verse 1:
D                        G    A
Every time they knock me down
                 D
I rise to my feet
                    G
Every time I take a bullet
            A
They find a medic
D
To patch me up real neat
                         G              A
You only have to run the numbers to know
          Bm                      E
Sooner or later everybody's gotta go
         G  A
Bleed out

Chorus:
                  D
I'm gonna bleed out
                  G  A
I'm gonna bleed out
                  D
I'm gonna bleed out
                      G                         A
There won't be anyone waiting to rush me to safety
    Bm                       E
I'm gonna let the long night take me
        G  A
Bleed out
                  D
I'm gonna bleed out

Verse 2:
D                    G         A
Every bender needs a black out
                       D
Every gauge deserves a top line
                    G
Every story needs a child
           A           D
Who believes the brave hero's gonna be just fine
                           G            A
You just have to check the papers to see
              Bm                          E
Some of these children end up just like me
        G  A
Bleed out

Chorus:
              D
I'm gonna bleed out
                  G  A
I'm gonna bleed out
                  D
I'm gonna bleed out
          G                 A
I'm gonna make a gigantic mess
       Bm                             E
But it meant something important I guess
        G  A
Bleed out
                  D
I'm gonna bleed out

Verse 3:
D                     G
Somewhere beyond imagination
A                           D
Somewhere beneath the final delta
                 G                       A
Washed up on the banks of a river at the height of the storm
D
Everybody's seeking shelter
G                       A  Bm
I'm  gonna dive right in
            E
I can't swim
        G  A
Bleed out

Chorus:
                  D
I'm gonna bleed out
                  G  A
I'm gonna bleed out
                  D
I'm gonna bleed out
                   G                        A
There's gonna be a big spot where I once lay
                Bm                 E
And there won't even be a spot one day
        G  A
Bleed out
                  D
I'm gonna bleed out

Interlude:
   G  A  D  G  A  D
   G  A  Bm  E  G  A  D

Verse 4:
D                               G
There was a chance we'd make it through this
A                               D
It's safe to say now that we've missed it
                      G                          A
And I won't ever lose hope and I haven't lost hope
D
I'm just realistic
                  G                    A
I will go down punching, but I will go down
       Bm                              E
And my corner men won't bring me back around
        G  A
Bleed out
                  D
I'm gonna bleed out

Verse 5:
D                         G
The blood is pooling underneath me
A                      D
Flowing freely from my mouth
                     G      A  D
You wanna call a med evac now
D
Knock yourself out
                           G                 A
You can tell 'em when they get here you tried
        Bm                               E
But the smallest hole was several inches wide
        G  A
Bleed out
                   D
I'm gonna bleed out

Verse 6:
D                       G
I'm gonna head into the darkness
A                       D
I'm gonna head into the light
                        G                A  D
I will surrender to the slow lurching tide
D
Drift off into the night
                            G             A
There won't be any words of wisdom from me
       Bm                                 E
Just a lake of blood for all the world to see
        G  A
Bleed out

Chorus:
                  D
I'm gonna bleed out
                G   A
I'm gonna bleed out
                D
I'm gonna bleed out
               G                          A
I'm gonna tell my friends to all go to hell
Bm                     E
And wish my enemies well
        G  A
Bleed out
                  D
I'm gonna bleed out
                  G  A
I'm gonna bleed out
                  D
I'm gonna bleed out
              G
If it's blood you want
                    A  Bm
I've got plenty of it
             E
You're gonna love it
        G  A
Bleed out
                  D
I'm gonna bleed out
