**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:

              Am7                        G
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
                C
I'm shaking, falling onto my knees
F              Am7                  G
And now that I'm without your kisses
C                  F
I'll be needing stitches
Am7
I'm tripping over myself,
        G         C
I'm aching begging you to come help
F             Am7                G
And now that I'm without your kisses
C                 F
I'll be needing stitches

I'm shaking, falling onto my knees
F              Am7                  G
And now that I'm without your kisses
C                  F
I'll be needing stitches

I'm tripping over myself,
        G         C
I'm aching begging you to come help

I'll be needing stitches
