[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Every word I said is what I mean
Every word I said is what I mean
Everything I gave is what I need
Virgin eyes and dirty looks
On what I have and why I took
Counting all the hands I shook

[Refrain]
Now I know why you've been shakin'
Now I know why you've been shakin'
Now I know why you've been shakin'
Now I know why you've been shakin'

[Chorus]
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free, yeah
Bleed your heart out
I said, "What's in it for me, yeah?
What's in it for me, yeah?"

[Verse 2]
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel
Buyin' lies and stealing jokes and laughing every time I choke
Biding all thе time you took
[Refrain]
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you'vе been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken

[Chorus]
So bleed your heart out
There's no more rides for free
Bleed your heart out
I said, "What's in it for me, yeah?"
What's in it for me, yeah?
(What's in it for)
(What's in it for)

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Every word I said is what I mean
Everything I gave is what I need
Everything I've held is what I've freed
Everything I've shown is what I feel
Virgin eyes and dirty looks on what I have and why I took
Counting all the hands I shook
Now I know why you've been shaking
Buying lies and stealing jokes and laughing every time I choke
Biding all the time you took
[Outro]
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
Now I know why you've been taken
