The Bleeding
by Five Finger Death Punch
on The Way of the Fist
Tuning: Drop C (dAFCGC)
This is 100% correct. If you’re like me and you’re too lazy to go to Drop C, you can
play at Drop D and play everything 2 frets lower :)
Also, listen to the song as you play, it helps to get all the notes correct. Enjoy!

(This is also after the Solo when he screams "the lies!")
And that's it for the whole song! its a lot easier than it seems, shouldn't give you too
trouble. This is a great song for beginners to learn, and just a fun song to play all around!
Lyrics:
(scream) THE LIES!!
[Intro/verse]
I remember when all the games began
Remember every little lie and every last goodbye
Promises you broke, words you choked on
and I never walked away,
it's still a mystery to me
[Pre-chorus]
Well I'm so empty
I'm better off without you and you're better off without me
Well you're so unclean
I'm better off without you and you're better off without me
[Chorus]
The lying, the bleeding, the screaming
Was tearing me apart
The hatred (deceiving), the beatings; it's over
[Intro/Verse]
Paint the mirrors black to forget you
I still picture your face and the way you used to taste
Roses in a glass, dead and wilted
To you this all was nothing
Everything to you is nothing
[Pre-Chorus]
Well you're so filthy
I'm better off without you and you're better off without me
Well I'm so ugly
You're better off without me and I'm better off alone
[Chorus]
The lying, the bleeding, the screaming
Was tearing me apart
The hatred, the beatings (disaster); it's over
As wicked as you are, you're beautiful to me
You're the darkest burning star, you're my perfect disease
[Chorus]
The lying, the bleeding, the screaming
Was tearing me apart
The hatred, the beatings; it's over
Disaster
The lying, the bleeding, the screaming
Was tearing me apart
The hatred, the beatings; it's over
Disaster
[Intro/Verse 1x]
It's over now...
