    You're pushing me into the corner
                    F#                     C#
Don't fight with me,   don't fight with me,   don't fight with me

Won't die withi - in

  They make me see,   they make me see
D#m                              G#m
    I'm feeling the pain how you break them and make them bleed

The way that you make me bleed
