( Verse 1 ) Em Em9/D Cmaj7 your words are like knives Em Em9/D Cmaj7 they peel my skin and pierce my soul Em Cmaj7 your body will burn tonight Em Em9/D Cmaj7 though your heart may still remain cold ( Chorus ) Em9/D * C and i will blame myself Em9/D * C and i will blame myself Em9/D * C for holding onto what i hoped would keep you by my side . Em9/D * C i will blame myself ( Verse 2 ) Em Em9/D Cmaj7 the sheets are stained with Em Em9/D Cmaj7 memories of your soft kiss Em Em9/D Cmaj7 now this is all i have Em Em9/D Cmaj7 paper and pen to remember you with ( Chorus ) Em9/D * C and i will blame myself Em9/D * C and i will blame myself Em9/D * C for holding onto what i hoped would keep you by my side . Em9/D * C i will blame myself ( Outro ) G C can i have you? G C can i have you? G C can i have you? G C Em9/D * can i have you?
