Lyrics

Bleeding Through the Sheets
Verse 1
G
I recall
Alluring looks and captive eyes
F.
Right then and there
C. G
I prophesied the fall
You promised
That your love would never fail…
F. C
So, how did we ever end up
G
In the fifth circle of hell

Chorus
F. Am
Put a fresh dressing
F. G
On this broken heart
F
It’s bleeding out
C. G
And the room is getting dark
Am
Why can’t lovers stay
F. G
Loving like they’re meant to do…
(////)
F. C. G
It’s a pain-ful pro-mise to keep…
(////)
F
Never thought you’d leave me here
C. G
blee-ding through the sheets

Verse 2
G
Love and money
Don’t have
one damn thing in common
F
So, tell me why
C. G
Your love depends upon my dime
I do my best,
but I cannot finance your heart
Thought it was
F. C
an even trade for mine

Guess I was wrong
G
Right from the start

Chorus

F. Am
Put a fresh dressing
F G
On this broken heart
F
It’s bleeding out
C. G
And my mood is getting dark
Am
Why can’t lovers stay
F. G
Loving like they’re meant to do…
(////)
F. C. G
It’s a pain-ful pro-mise to keep…
(////)
F
Never thought you’d leave me here
C. G
blee-ding through the sheets

Bridge
Never thought you’d
F.
leave me here beside you
C G
So cold and all alone
F
As you drift
C
off to dream
G
Satisfied and on your own
F.
And I sure hate to wake you
C G
But I’m feeling repossessed
(Pause)
F. C
That ol’ Devil in between us
Got a foothold
G
On my chest

Chorus

F. Am
Put a fresh dressing
F Cmaj7 G
On this old broken heart
F
It’s bleeding out
C. G
And the room is getting dark
Am
Why can’t lovers stay
F. G
Loving like they’re meant to do…
(////)
F. C. G
It’s a pain-ful pro-mise to keep…
(////)
F
Never thought you’d leave me here
C. G
blee-ding through the sheets

Tag
Yeah, it’s a pain-ful pro-mise to keep
Never thought you’d leave me here
blee-ding through the sheets
