[Intro]
Bb
 
[Verse]
Bb (through entire verse)
Took a lonely feeling
Just to let the meaning
Sink like the sun goes down
Never close to heaven
Felt my feet were burning from the same red hot ground
Gb
There's blood on my hands,
Eb
There's blood on my hands
Bb
Yeah, there's blood
Bb
It's getting hard to listen
When the clock is ticking
Counting down the days gone by
Praying for an answer to another question
That will only leave you dry
Gb
You won't understand
Eb
With your head in the sand
Bb
No, you won't
 
[Chorus]
          Db      Ab                 Bb
But I'll kiss the ground where you kneel
        Db      Ab         Bb
Till I grow my hair to my heels
Db          Ab         Bb
Spike your water your wine
           Db        Ab      Bb
While you waste my precious time
 
[Verse]
Bb
Every time I drink and try to stop my thinking
Bout the things I've said and done
Stop the world from turning faster
Then I'm learning not to just hide and run
Gb
You won't understand
Eb
With your head in the sand
Bb
No, you won't
Bb                                    Bb
Love came and went faster than a penny spent in a slot machine
Bb                                     Bb   F     Db      Ab
Nowhere near the devil, just somewhere in between you and me
Gb                      Eb
Sworn to see me
 
[Chorus]
          Db      Ab                 Bb
But I'll kiss the ground where you kneel
        Db      Ab         Bb
Till I grow my hair to my heels
Db          Ab         Bb
Spike your water your wine
Gb
Yeah, there's blood on my hands,
Eb
There's blood on my hands
Gb
There's blood on my hands,
Eb
There's blood on my hands
Bb
Yeah, there's blood
 
[Instrumental]
Ab (really short)  Bb (x4)
F  (really short)  Gb (x2)
Ab (really short)  Bb (x2)
 
[Outro]
Bb
Took a lonely feeling
Just to let the meaning
Sink like the sun goes down
Never close to heaven
Felt my feet were burning from the same red hot ground

Of course, this is just a way to play it for acoustic guitar. I know that there are only notes in the original but these are the chords that go with those notes. Also, if you'd play these chords as notes it would be correct except for the instrumental bit, which I had to simplify to make it work for acoustic guitar.
