Verse 1:
Fm
Tie these hands
They shake too
C#
much to hold you
To hold you
Fm
With wandering eyes
It?s so hard
C#
to watch you
To watch out for you
To watch out for you
Chorus:
G#
Every time you almost died
Fm
I chased your soul to the sky
C#
And brought it back to you
Before your body
knew that it was gone
G#
Every cut that didn?t scar
Fm C#
I know exactly where they are
I wear them all for you
Your skin is such a nicer tissue
Verse 2:
Fm
I?m out of shape and
C#
Much too slow to chase you
To chase you
Fm
It?s time you
found somebody new
C#
To save you
?Cause I can?t save you
I can?t save you
Refrain:
Eb Fm
No this is not alright
C#
Everything?s not fine
Eb
Don?t trust me with your life
Fm
Don?t put your faith in me
C#
I?m much too weak to
keep you safe tonight
(Repeat)
(Repeat Chorus)
C#
Your skin is such a nicer tissue
Bridge:
Fm
I?m cutting off my wings
I don?t deserve to fly
C#
What the hell have I done
I almost let you die
Fm
I let you down my friend
I failed you once again
But this time is way too
C#(hold)
close I can?t save you
Verse 3:
Fm
I?m a fake
I?m entirely
made out of plastic
C#
I?m a fake
I?ll destroy almost
Fm
anything delicate
I?m a fake
Make you think that
C#
everything?s perfect now
I?m a fake, I?m a fake
And I?ve been found out
(Repeat Chorus)
Outro:
C# G#(hold)
I traded my skin for your scars
