Romeo Is Bleeding
E|--wor| ds and music by Michael Stanley

[Verse]

G
I spoke with Jesus on the Internet
    C                          G
At least that's who he said he was
G
And I asked him 'bout his father
    C                       G
Why He allows the things He does
          D
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
                   G
        'Cause Romeo is bleeding...
    C        G
        Romeo is bleeding...

[Verse]

G
You don't know what I know
 C                              G
'Cause if you did then you'd be me
G
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...
            G
        Romeo is bleeding...

[Verse]

        D                              C
Oh and lovers find their solace in the shadows down
     G
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
                  D
Heart...tear them apart...
D
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
                    D
        And try and keep believin
                    G
        'Cause Romeo is bleeding..
   C        G

   C        G
