[D]Standing in my blood, [F#m]it was a taste of bitter[E]sweet

I [A]can’t stay, [E]I have to walk away

[Closing]
[D]I’m left behind with an [F#m]empty hole, [A]and everything I am is [E]gone
[D]I tried to reach for [F#m]another soul, [A]so I can feel [E]whole
Oh, [D]give me some [F#m]love, oh, [A]give me some [E]love
