[Intro]
Bb
[Verse]
 Bb(through entire verse)
Took a lonely feeling
Just to let the meaning
Sink like the sun goes down
Never close to heaven
Felt my feet were burning from the same red hot ground
GbThere's blood on my hands,
EbThere's blood on my hands
BbYeah, there's blood
BbIt's getting hard to listen
When the clock is ticking
Counting down the days gone by
Praying for an answer to another question
That will only leave you dry
GbYou won't understand
EbWith your head in the sand
BbNo, you won't
[Chorus]
But I'll kDbiss the Abground where you knBbeel
Till I gDbrow my hAbair to my hBbeels
DbSpike your wAbater your wBbine
While you wDbaste my prAbecious tBbime
[Verse]
BbEvery time I drink and try to stop my thinking
Bout the things I've said and done
Stop the world from turning faster
Then I'm learning not to just hide and run
GbYou won't understand
EbWith your head in the sand
BbNo, you won't
BbLove came and went faster than a penny Bbspent in a slot machine
BbNowhere near the devil, just somewhere Bbin beFtween Dbyou and Abme
GbSworn to see meEb  
[Chorus]
But I'll kDbiss the Abground where you knBbeel
Till I gDbrow my hAbair to my hBbeels
DbSpike your wAbater your wBbine
GbYeah, there's blood on my hands,
EbThere's blood on my hands
GbThere's blood on my hands,
EbThere's blood on my hands
BbYeah, there's blood

Took a lonely feeling

Just to let the meaning

Sink like the sun goes down

Never close to heaven

Felt my feet were burning from the same red hot ground

There's blood on my hands,

There's blood on my hands

Yeah, there's blood

It's getting hard to listen

When the clock is ticking

Counting down the days gone by

Praying for an answer to another question

That will only leave you dry

You won't understand

With your head in the sand

No, you won't

[Chorus]

But I'll kiss the ground where you kneel

Db Ab Bb

Till I grow my hair to my heels

Db Ab Bb

Spike your water your wine

Db Ab Bb

While you waste my precious time

[Verse]

Every time I drink and try to stop my thinking

Bout the things I've said and done

Stop the world from turning faster

Then I'm learning not to just hide and run

You won't understand

With your head in the sand

No, you won't
