Romeo Is Bleeding
--words and music by Michael Stanley
[Verse]
GI spoke with Jesus on the Internet
At lCeast that's who he said he Gwas
GAnd I asked him 'bout his father
Why CHe allows the things He Gdoes
There was Dnothing for a moment
And Cthen he Cmaj7wrote bacAmk "just becGause"
[Chorus]
        CSo I guess you take the truth where yoGu can find it
        TChrow caution to the wind if you dGon't mind it
        CAnd reel it all back in when theGy unwind it
        GAnd try and stop Dthe needing
        'Cause RomeGo is bleeding...
        CRomeo Gis bleeding...
[Verse]
GYou don't know what I know
'CCause if you did then you'd be Gme
GAnd looking in the mirror
CYou might not like just what you Gsee
Or get Dblinded by reflections as you fCly closer than
Cmaj7Anyone sAmhould Gbe
[Chorus]
        To Cthat place where the lies black out Gthe sun
        And where Cyour secrets have no other placGe to run
        And Cthe falling of the curtain Ghas begun
        GAnd everyonDe is leaving
        'Cause RomeGo is bleeCding...
        RomeGo is bleeding...
[Verse]
Oh and lDovers find their solace in the Cshadows down
The bGlocks...
Like Dmisdirected sailors who can't qCuite see the Grocks...
Where the Cmaj7jagged expectations of Ammatters of the
Heart...tear them Dapart...
DThey hear the sirens singing
GHey la Cho la Ghey la Cho la Ghey la Cho la Ghey la Cho la

Romeo Is Bleeding

--words and music by Michael Stanley

[Verse]

I spoke with Jesus on the Internet

C G

At least that's who he said he was

And I asked him 'bout his father

C G

Why He allows the things He does

There was nothing for a moment

C Cmaj7 Am G

And then he wrote back "just because"

[Chorus]

C G

So I guess you take the truth where you can find it

C G

Throw caution to the wind if you don't mind it

C G

And reel it all back in when they unwind it

G D

And try and stop the needing

'Cause Romeo is bleeding...

C G

Romeo is bleeding...

[Verse]

You don't know what I know

C G

'Cause if you did then you'd be me

And looking in the mirror

C G

You might not like just what you see

D C

Or get blinded by reflections as you fly closer than

Cmaj7 Am G

Anyone should be

[Chorus]

C G

To that place where the lies black out the sun

C G

And where your secrets have no other place to run

C G

And the falling of the curtain has begun

G D

And everyone is leaving

G C

'Cause Romeo is bleeding...

Romeo is bleeding...

[Verse]

D C

Oh and lovers find their solace in the shadows down

The blocks...

D C G

Like misdirected sailors who can't quite see the rocks...

Cmaj7 Am

Where the jagged expectations of matters of the

Heart...tear them apart...

They hear the sirens singing

G C G C G C G C

Hey la ho la hey la ho la hey la ho la hey la ho la

G C G G G C G G D C Cmaj7 Am G

[Outro]

C G

So I guess you take the truth where you can find i

C G

Throw caution to the wind if you don't mind i

C G

Yeah and reel it all back in when they unwind i

And try and keep believin

'Cause Romeo is bleeding..

C G

Romeo is bleeding..

C G

Romeo is bleeding..

C G C G

Romeo is bleeding..

Hey la (can you hear the voice)

Ho la (can you hear 'em singin)

Hey la (singing sweet and lo)

Ho l

Hey la (now you raise your hand)

Ho la (gonna take a stand no)

Hey la (and follow where love goes)

Ho a

Hey la (come on, come on, come on)

Ho la (come on, come on, come on)
