Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Eyes open to splattered blood
Cold tile mocks me as [F]I arise to find the
[Gm]knife is [G]still in [Em]my back[Am]
Shifting thoughts now slow with venom
[F]Take me as I stagger...is this
all we were worth?
[G]I've [Em]lost you [F]for good
[Gm]with[Am]out regret
Your once gentle words
now bleeding from [G]my chest
[Am]Screams of t[G]error now [Am]fill my every breat[F]h
I [Gm]know [C]you[Am]'ll rue the
day you ever met [G]me
[Am]I'll lay you down to s[F]leep when sor
[Am]row [G]will b[Am]ury the blade hilt [F]deep

[Verse 2]
You [Gm]know [F]I w[Am]ould
have died for you
[Em]Now I'm forced to choose between
a [F]life of [Gm]re v[Gsus4]enge or regret[Gm]
As [Am]I thirst for vengeance,
[Em]my heart struggles to come to grips
[F]Why [G]would you leave [Gm]me to die,
turn, and walk away?
[F]

[Verse 3]
[Gm]Alone, you stood so [Am]still
as you watched me break
Did it now kill [F]you too? [Am]what has led [G]you
[Am]to the dagger my f[F]riend?

[Verse 4]
[Gm][Am]
You know I would have died for you
[Em]Now I'm forced to choose between a
[F]life of [Gsus4]re venge [G]or regret[Gsus4][Gm]
As [Am]I thirst for vengeance,
[Em]my heart struggles to come to grips
[F]Why would [G]you leave me [Gm]to die, turn,

[Interlude 1]
and walk away?
[Am][F][Gm][G][Em]

[Verse 5]
[Am]My revenge is made so clear midst cold
tears left with [F]the betrayed
I'll see that [Gm]you [G]never [Em]forge[Am]t this
I will hunt you down like a dog
[F]Lies could never disguise what I saw behind
me [G]in [Em]you[Am][Em][C]
Remembering times [F]we have
[Am]shared...my friend for life is [F]gone
We'll let the ember[C]s serve as the only memory of last [F]days,
so long ago

[Verse 6]
Why would you leave me [F]to die,
[Am]turn, and walk away?
Why would you leave me to [F]die after [C]you had[F]
[C]bur[F]ied[G] th[F]e d[G]agger hilt[C] deep?[F]

[Verse 7]
You're dead to [G]me
[F]I w[G]ould have d[Am]ied for you
[Em]Now I'm forced to choose between
a [F]life of [G]revenge [Gsus4]or re gre[Gm]t
[F]As [Am]I thirst for vengeance,
[Em]my heart struggles to come to grips
[F]Why would you [G]leave me [Gsus4]to die,
[Gm]turn[Am], and walk away?
You're dead to me
