Capo 5th

   G                 D
He left a card and a bar of soap with 
 Em                  C
scrubbing brush next to a note,
          
That said 
 G          D               Em        C
"use these down to your bones".
      G                  D
And before I knew I had shiny skin and
   Em               C
it felt easy being clean like him,
          
I thought 
 G               D             Em      C
"this one knows better than I do"
 
Am                
A triangle trying 
    G                D
to squeeze through a circle
Am                        D
He tried to cut me so I'd fit
 
     D                    G
And doesn't that sound familiar?
                      D
Doesn't that hit too close to home?
                       Em     
Doesn't that make you shiver; 
                       C
the way things could've gone?
D                      G     
And doesn't it feel peculiar 
                       D
that everyone wants a little more.
               Em                      C
So that I do remember to never go that far,
           D       
Could you leave me 
        G      D       Em        C   x2
with a scar ah-ah?
 
       G                    D
So the next one came with a bag of treats,
     Em                    C
She smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea
    G              
She told me don't, 
      D            Em          C
trust them trust me.
         G                     D
Then she pulled at my stitches one by one,
Em                    C
Looked at my insides clicking her tongue,
          G             
And said "This will all 
 D                 Em        C
have to come undone".
 
Am                
A triangle trying 
    G                D
to squeeze through a circle,
Am                           D
She tried to blunt me so I'd fit.
 
     D                    G
And doesn't that sound familiar?
                      D
Doesn't that hit too close to home?
                       Em
Doesn't that make you shiver;
                           C
the way things could have gone?
D                      G
And doesn't it feel peculiar, 
                       D
that everyone wants a little more?
                Em                      C
So that I do remember to never go that far,
           D                Am    
Could you leave me with a scar?

  C     G      D  x2
 
           G
I think I realized just in time,
          D
about my old self was hard to find.
         Em                          
You can bathe me in your finest wine 
         C
but I'll never give you mine.
           G
'Cos I'm a little bit tired of fearing that
            D
I'll be the bad fruit nobody buys,
Em                     
Tell me, did you think 
                   C
we'd all dream the same?
 
     D                    G
And doesn't that sound familiar?
                      D
Doesn't that hit too close to home?
                       Em     
Doesn't that make you shiver; 
                       C
the way things could've gone?
     D                  G    
And doesn't it feel peculiar 
                        D
that everyone wants a little more.
               Em                      C
So that I do remember to never go that far,
                           G      D
Could you leave me with a scar ah-ah?
Em                          C     
  could you leave me with a scar? 
      G      D
ah-ah-ah.
Em                           C          G
  could you leave me with a scar
