G   D   Em   C   x2

   G                 D
He left a card and a bar of soap with
 Em                  C
scrubbing brush next to a note,
           G          D               Em   C
That said "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,
           G               D             Em   C
I thought "this one knows better than I do"

Am                    G                D
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
Am                        C
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                            C
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone?
D                      G                            D
And doesn't it feel peculiar that everyone wants a little more.
               Em                      C
So that I do remember to never go that far,
           D               G      D    Em   C   }
Could you leave me 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                    D            Em   C
She told me don't, 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              D                 Em   C
And said "This will all have to come undone".

Am                    G                D
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle,
Am                           C
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   C   G   D
Could you leave me with a scar?

Am   C   D

           G
I think I realized just in time,
          D
about my old self was hard to find.
         Em                                   C
You can bathe me in your finest wine 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                                        C
Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?

     D                    G
And doesn't that sound familiar?
                      D
Doesn't that hit too close to home?
                       Em                            C
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone?
     D                  G                            D
And doesn't it feel peculiar 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           G    D
  could you leave me with a scar? ah-ah-ah.
Em                           C    G
  could you leave me with a scar
