Once again she steals away
Then she reaches out to kiss me
And how she takes my breath away
Pretending that she won’t miss me

Oohh I would bleed to love her
Bleed to love her
Oohh I would bleed to love her
And once again she calls to me
Then she vanishes in thin air
And how she takes my breath away
Pretending that she’s not there
Oohh I would bleed to love her
Bleed to love her
Oohh I would bleed to love her

Somebody’s got to see this through
All the world is laughing at you
Somebody’s got to sacrifice
If this whole thing’s going to turn out right
Oohh I would bleed to love her
Bleed to love her
Oohh I would bleed to love her

Then Mick and John join in… Lindsey plays the riff again and then Stevie starts Singing.

VERSE 1-Repeat main riff five times.
I think there are a couple of variations.

That he could be good for her…

And they sould be together…

VERSE 2&3-Main Riff. Same as first verse.

CHORUS

Lindsey keeps playing the main riff until the end.

Listen to the song for timing. The main riff is an electric guitar clean,
not distorted. But it also sounds good on acoustic. Well Have Fun!!
