couplet:
--------
E5           G5         A5    C5
Make me feel like a beggar
E5           G5          A5 
Make me feel like a thi-ief
E5           G5      A5       C5  
Make me feel like a battle,
     E5     G5      A5      C5
that cannot end in peace
E5      G5         A5      C5   
Make me feel like running, 
   E5      G5       A5     C5 
as if I've lost my nerve 
E5      G5         A5      C5
Make me feel like crying, 
E5      G5        A5     
tears I don't deserve 

refrain:
--------

C5      E5
Please bleed 
     C5                 E5
So I know that you are real
     C5                 E5 
So I know that you can feel 
    C5                  D5      D5  D5
The damage that you've done
A5           C5     
Who have I become
   A5          C5     A5   C5     A5   C5      D5 
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am nu-u-u-umb 
couplet:
Is this really living? Sometimes it's hard to tell 
Or is this a kind of gentler hell? 
Turn out the lights 
And let me stare into your soul 
I was born and bled for you old 
refrain:
Please bleed 
So I know that you are real 
So I know that you can feel 
The damage that you've done 
Who have I become 
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb 
(bridge:play the chorus)
couplet:
Never said thank you 
Never said please 
Never gave reason to believe 
So as it stands 
I remain on my knees 
Good lovers make great enemies 
refrain:
Please bleed 
So I know that you are real 
So I know that you can feel 
The damage that you've done 
Who have I become 
To myself I am numb, I am numb, I am numb
