[Verse 1]
  Bm                         G                 E5 A
I tried it once before but I didn't get too far
  Bm                        G                   E5 A
I felt a lot of pain but it didn't stop my heart
    Bm                      G                            E5 A
And all I really wanted was someone to give a little fuck
      Bm                         G                  E5 A Bm G E5 A Bm G E5 A
But I waited there forever and nobody even looked up
 
 
[Verse 2]
  Bm                         G                       E5 A
I tried it once before and I think I mighta messed up
  Bm                             G                          E5 A
I struggled with the veins and I guess I didn't bleed enough
    Bm                        G                      E5 A
But maybe I'm alive because I didn't really wanna die
    Bm                        G                 E5 A
But nothing very special ever happens in my life
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm              G
Take the blade away from me
  E5            A
I am a freak, I am afraid that
Bm              G               E5
All the blood escaping me won't end the pain
    A                Bm                 G
And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me
  E5             A
I died to be the white ghost
       G              E5         Bm G E5 A
Of the man that I was meant to be
 
 
[Verse 3]
  Bm                            G                     E5 A
I tried it like before and this time I made a deep cut
  Bm                               G                       E5 A
I thought about my friends and the way I didn't give enough
      Bm                             G                        E5 A
And I shoulda told my mother 'mom, I love you' like a good son
         Bm                           G                     E5
But this life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm              G
Take the blade away from me
  E5            A
I am a freak, I am afraid that
Bm              G               E5
All the blood escaping me won't end the pain
    A                Bm                 G
And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me
  E5             A
I died to be the white ghost
       G              E5                Bm G Bm D A G Bm D A G E5
Of the man that I was meant to be, yeah
 
 
[Bridge]
  Bm
I tried it once again and I think I might black out
  Bm
I shoulda left a letter but I had nothing to write about
   Bm                            G                  E5 A
My blood is all around me, I get dizzy if I stand up
    Bm                          G                       E5 A
The cutting part was easy but regretting it is so fucked
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm              G
Take the blade away from me
  E5            A
I am a freak, I am afraid that
Bm              G               E5
All the blood escaping me won't end the pain
    A                Bm                 G
And I'll be haunting all the lives that cared for me
  E5             A
I died to be the white ghost
       G              E5
Of the man that I was meant to be
 
 
[Ending]
  Bm
I tried it once again and I think I went too far
    G              E5
The man that I was meant to be,
  Bm
I cut a little deeper and the pressure stopped my heart
    G              E5
The man that I was meant to be,
  Bm
I couldn't tell my mother that I love her, I'm a bad son
     G                            E5
This life is overwhelming and I'm ready for the next one

I think if you use Asus2 in place of A, it sounds a little closer.

Something you might want to check: I believe the Em's should be E's. Think that should sound even closer to the original. Anyway, awesome Tab, 5 Stars!
