Bleed chords by Hot Chelle Rae

Tuning: Drop D

Difficulty: Novice


Chords: Bm, G, D

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

Intro: Bm G D x2

Bm                 G                D
   I feel like I'm drowning in ice water
Bm              G                 D
   My lips have turned a shade of blue
Bm            G
   I'm frozen with this fear
D

   That you may disappear
Bm             G             D
   Before I've given you the truth

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

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

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

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

[Here's the tricky part.  cover the low D and A 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

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