Verse 1: (intro riff) End on G 

Make me feel like a beggar
Make me feel like a thief
Make me feel like a battle
That can not end in peace

Make me feel like running
As if I’ve lost my nerve
Make me feel like crying 
Tears I don’t deserve
  
Chorus: Power chords with thick distortion

       D
Please bleed
     Bb               A D
So I know that you are real
     Bb               A D
So I know that you can feel
     Bb               A   C   (G|--10-9-|)
The damage that you’ve done
   D               G  Bb   (harmonic 7th fret top e string)
Oh who have I become?
D            G  Bb
To myself I am numb
 G    Bb
I am numb
 G    Bb     C    (G|--10-9-|)
I am numb


Verse 2:

Is this really living?
Sometimes it’s hard to tell
Or is this just the kinder 
Gentler hell 

Turn out the lights
And let me stare into your soul
I was born and bled 
For you to hold

Chorus

Verse 3:

Never said thank you
Never said please
Never gave
A reason to believe

So as it stands 
I’ll be waiting on my knees
Good lovers
Make great enemies
