**In the 2nd chorus he now strums the chords while still making a percussive sound
at least until "I'm without your kisses" before fully strumming.

Chorus:

       Am7Am7            G+G
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
        C majorC
I'm shaking, falling onto my knees
FF       Am7Am7         G+G
And now that I'm without your kisses
C majorC         FF
I'll be needing stitches
Am7Am7
I'm tripping over myself,
    G+G     C majorC
I'm aching begging you to come help
FF       Am7Am7        G+G
And now that I'm without your kisses
C majorC         FF
I'll be needing stitches
