couplet:

--------
Em           G         Am    C

Make me feel like a beggar
Em           G          Am 
Make me feel like a thi-ief
Em           G      Am       C  
Make me feel like a battle,
     Em     G      A      C
that cannot end in peace
Em      G         Am      C   
Make me feel like running, 
   Em      G       Am     C 
as if I've lost my nerve 
Em      G         Am      C
Make me feel like crying, 
Em      G        Am     
tears I don't deserve 

refrain:

--------
C      Em

Please bleed 
     C                 Em
So I know that you are real
     C                 Em 
So I know that you can feel 
    C                  D      Dsus4  D
The damage that you've done
Am           C     
Who have I become
   Am          C     Am   C     Am   C      D 
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
