I Can’t Stop Bleeding

Lyrics and Chords

INTRO Amin

A min                                       G6

I played my candy red guitar

Fmaj7                          Cmaj7

Till my head felt sore

Fmaj7                          Cmaj7              Bmin7                  Emin

My skeletons crashed into a heap upon the floor

A min                                       G6

Why must I pretend

Fmaj7                          Cmaj7

I’ll be your friend

Fmaj7                          Cmaj7

I’ll be your brother

Bmin7                  Emin

I like your mother?

E7sus4     Emin              Fmaj7

When I can’t stop bleeding

Cmaj7

Cut myself again

E7sus4     Emin              Fmaj7

I can’t stop bleeding

Cmaj7

I can’t seem to mend

Emin     Fmaj7   Cmaj7            Amin

Hey,hey ,hey, hey

A min                                       G6

When I was 22

Fmaj7                          Cmaj7

I lit a candle for you

Fmaj7             Cmaj7                 Bmin7     Emin

It breaks my will, but it’s burning still

A min                         G6          Fmaj7           Cmaj7

I understand no good can come of this

Fmaj7           Cmaj7             Bmin7               Emin

What has come between us is a precipice

E7sus4     Emin              Fmaj7

I can’t stop bleeding

Cmaj7

Cut myself again

E7sus4     Emin              Fmaj7

I can’t stop bleeding

Cmaj7

I can’t seem to mend

Emin     Fmaj7   Cmaj7            Amin

Hey,hey ,hey, hey

Lyrics

I played my candy red guitar
Till my head felt sore
My skeletons crashed into a heap upon the floor
Why must I pretend
I’ll be your friend
I’ll be your brother
I like your mother?

When I can’t stop bleeding
Cut myself again
I can’t stop bleeding
I can’t seem to mend
Hey, hey, hey, hey

When I was 22
I lit a candle for you
It breaks my will, but it’s burning still
I understand no good can come of this
What has come between us is a precipice

I can’t stop bleeding
Cut myself again
I can’t stop bleeding
I can’t seem to mend
Hey, hey, hey, hey

I want to be your only one
But I’ve become your factotum
I can’t quell this storm inside of me
I just keep rolling, like a pebble on a scree
Like Ophelia

I can’t stop bleeding
Cut myself again
I can’t stop bleeding
I can’t seem to mend
Hey, hey, hey, hey
