Cadd9
Well, I've been on the backroads
G
Learning things I didn't know

I just gotta know

And I've been feeling bad, dear
G
'Cause this mind is broke
Cadd9
Yeah, this mind is broke
G
Mmm-hmm
Chorus:
Em Cadd9
Bleed me, use me, run around, don't kill me
G
It's better than being alone

Well, love me, heal me, turn around and see me

'Cause I'm hanging on hope

Cadd9
Well, I've been sleeping restless
G
Unless I'm heavy on the smoke
Cadd9
I'm staring at the sky now

With these feelings I don't show

I'll let a little grin grow
G
From those kind words you spoke

Ooh, that you spoke

Mmm-hmm

But who's at fault?

Bleed me, use me, run around, don't kill me

It's better than being alone
