[Verse 1]
D                   A
I came home to find you on drugs
      Bm                    G
I was on the verge of every song I'd ever sung
         D
you said oh my gosh
            A
it's like I can't escape
        Bm
I am a child of fate
             G
and then you threw a plate at me
            D     A Bm G
you were so wasted

[Verse 2]
D
All my life
            A
I've been a child of stress
             Bm
you were the worst at best
         G
and if I may confess the worst ain't over
D
yet if you call
A
I won't stumble
Bm
I've been humbled
G                                    D A Bm G
like your bottles, empty in the morning

[Chorus]
D                       A
Hold on up, we've got a bleeder on our hands
        Bm                                G
I don't think you understand, get here as quickly as you can
                     D
I've learned to hate
                        A
oh, I have grown to love
                  Bm
I have learned to be
                        G
what I hoped I would become
                     D
and tell me what of you
             A
what did you do
             Bm
what did you say
             G
what did you leave behind
N.C.            D A Bm G
who did you save

[Verse 3]
D                    A
You came home, I was on the rug
         Bm                    G
you were on the verge of every hole you'd ever dug
         D
you said Oh my God
          A
I cannot catch a break
           Bm
but I am a child of faith
            G                                 D A Bm
so when you turned away, I just lay in silence
G                                                   D A Bm G
oh, when you turned away, well I just lay in silence

[Chorus]
         D                       A
Thinkin' Hold on up, we've got a bleeder on our hands
        Bm                                G
I don't think you understand, get here as quickly as you can
                     D
I've learned to hate
                        A
oh, I have grown to love
                  Bm
I have learned to be
                        G
what I hoped I would become
                     D
and tell me what of you
             A
what did you do
             Bm
what did you say
             G
what did you leave behind
N.C.            D A Bm G
who did you save

D A Bm G

[Bridge]
        D
I am a child of faith
       A
I am a child of faith
       Bm
I am a child of faith
           G
So I just lay

[Chorus]
         D                       A
Thinkin' hold on up, we've got a bleeder on our hands
        Bm
I don't think you understand
           G
you better do the best you can
                   D
you'll learn to hate
                          A
oh, you will grow to love
                  Bm                             G
you will learn to be what you hoped you would become
                      D
and tell me what of me
             A
what did i do
              Bm
what did i say
           G
what did i leave behind
                D
who did i change
