Bleed chords by Hot Chelle Rae

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Drop D MajorD

Difficulty: Novice


Chords: Bm, G, D MajorD

The G+G chord is different because of the drop tuning.
The strumming pattern is simple and can be easily heard in the music video.

Intro: B minorBm G+G D MajorD x2

B minorBm         G+G        D MajorD
  I feel like I'm drowning in ice water
B minorBm       G+G         D MajorD
  My lips have turned a shade of blue
B minorBm      G+G
  I'm frozen with this fear
D MajorD
  That you may disappear
B minorBm       G+G       D MajorD
  Before I've given you the truth

B minorBm      G+G         D MajorD     B minorBm
  I bleed my heart out on this paper for you
B minorBm      G+G     D MajorD
  So you can see what I can't say
B minorBm      G+G        D MajorD
  I'm dying here (I'm dying here)
D MajorD
  'Cause I can't say what I want to
B minorBm      G+G         D MajorD
  I bleed my heart out just for you

[Here you can use the intro or the solo posted on the other tab.]

B minorBm       G+G         D MajorD
  I've always dreamed about this moment
B minorBm       G+G            D MajorD
  And now it's here and I've turned to stone
B minorBm       G+G     D MajorD
  I stand here petrified
D MajorD
  As I look you in your eyes
B minorBm      G+G      D MajorD
  My head is ready to explode

B minorBm      G+G         D MajorD     B minorBm
  I bleed my heart out on this paper for you
B minorBm      G+G     D MajorD
  So you can see what I can't say
B minorBm      G+G        D MajorD
  I'm dying here (I'm dying here)
D MajorD
  'Cause I can't say what I want to
B minorBm      G+G         D MajorD
  I bleed my heart out just for you

[Here's the tricky part. cover the low D MajorD and A augmentedA strings on the second fret.
Move up to the 5th. Then the 9th. Then the 12th. Then down to the second, up to
the 5th, and 9th again.
Then go back DOWN to the seventh. I will mark the start of this pattern with a /
and the switches with a //.
It's easy once you get the hang of only hitting those two strings.]

/        //
  And it's all here in
            //    //
  Black and white and re-E-E-E-E-E-E-ed
    //
  For all the times
     //        //      //
  Those words were never sai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-ai-aid

B minorBm      G+G         D MajorD     B minorBm
  I bleed my heart out on this paper for you
B minorBm      G+G     D MajorD
  So you can see what I can't say
B minorBm      G+G        D MajorD
  I'm dying here (I'm dying here)
D MajorD
  'Cause I can't say what I want to
B minorBm      G+G         D MajorD
  I bleed my heart out just for you
B minorBm      G+G         D MajorD
  I bleed my heart out just for you

[Back to intro or solo for ending. If you use the chords, be sure to end of D MajorD]
