If You Live By The Sword You Die By The Sword

G                       A/G
I open my eyes, but I still manage to dream.
                C9                              G
This cold bathroom floor, now just feels like home to me.
A/G                             C9
I stumble to the mirror, and I naturally start to clean.
G                       C9                              A/G
But my body's scorned with marks that say "these aren't the last lines that I'll see...”

G                       C9
So please cut this string, attached to my wrists.
                G                       C9
Buried in my shaking palm, I hold this evil in my fist.
        G               C9
I relive my pain, with every scar.
                        G                       Em/G    C (look below for plucking)
it's a battlefield of memories that just won't go away for me....

G                       G                       C9                      C9
This world has tied me down, and the knot keeps tightening.
G                       G                       C9                      C9
'Cause I'm just a puppet, dangling from this breaking string.
G                       G                       C9                      C9
But maybe I'll turn this blade the other way.
G                       G                       C9                      C9
And roll up my sleeves to let the scars show my mistakes.

G                       Em/G
So please cut this string, attached to my wrists.
                C9                      C9      C
Buried in my shaking palm, I hold this evil in my fist.
        G               C9
I relive my pain, with every scar.
                        G                       A/G     Em/G
it's a battlefield of memories that just won't go away for me....

G                                       C9
You couldn't make the cut, so now you'll make this cut...
G                                       C9
You couldn't make the cut, so now you'll make this cut...
G                                       C9
You couldn't make the cut, so now you'll make this cut...
G                                       C9/G
You couldn't make the cut, so now you'll make this cut...

(not sure here-sorry!)
I can't breathe, I'm in need, where's my crimson savior?
                                Em/G
No I won't crawl back just to bleed,
A/G                             C9
Forgive me, I promise I’ll stay clean
