Stiches - Shawn Mendes

It is very easy in this piece to start feeling all those notes you play every time after the bass note as the beat instead of the upbeat. Try to pay attention to this, play with a metronome if necessary.

With the palm-mute pieces you don't have to hit the whole chord with your plectrum, because you mute it you get the desired effect pretty soon by just playing about 3 strings.

Lyrics:

I thought that I've been hurt before But no one's ever left me quite this sore Your words cut deeper than a knife Now I need someone to breathe me back to life

Got a feeling that I'm going under But I know that I'll make it out alive If I quit calling you my lover Move on

You watch me bleed until I can't breathe I'm shaking, falling onto my knees And now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches Tripping over myself Aching, begging you to come help And now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches

Just like a moth drawn to a flame Oh, you lured me in I couldn't sense the pain Your bitter heart cold to the touch Now I'm gonna reap what I sow I'm left seeing red on my own

Got a feeling that I'm going under But I know that I'll make it out alive If I quit calling you my lover Move on

You watch me bleed until I can't breathe I'm shaking, falling onto my knees And now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches Tripping over myself Aching, begging you to come help And now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches

Needle and the thread Gotta get you outta my head Needle and the thread Gonna wind up dead

Needle and the thread Gotta get you outta my head Needle and the thread Gonna wind up dead (gonna wind up dead)

Needle and the thread Gotta get you outta my head (gotta get you outta my head) Needle and the thread Gonna wind up dead (wind up dead)

Needle and the thread Gotta get you outta my head, get you outta my head

You watch me bleed until I can't breathe I'm shaking, falling onto my knees (falling on my knees) And now that I'm without your kisses (without you) I'll be needing stitches (and I'll be needing stitches) Tripping over myself Aching, begging you to come help (begging baby please) And now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches

And now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches And now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches
