Verse:
Am       Em
I think she came over to feel worth
Am      Em
More than a body in the ground
Am      Em        B
Poured her a drink to calm her nerves
B           B
But this Earth's broken her spirits down
Am          Em
Said "hang around, let down your hair"
Am          Em
And talked about the others that were buried there
Am      Em
We danced and took a moonlight stroll
B
But that's when I wanted to be alone, so I took off the coat

Verse:
Am      Em
Went home and kept working on my vest
Am         Em
She had secrets she wanted to get off her chest
Am      Em
I'll take the burden if you need
B
And I'll spill my guts if you follow my lead

Chorus:
(Fig. 1)
Em  F# G       Am          Em
'Cause I need to feel comfortable in my own skin
Em  F# G       Am          Em
But I think I like the one that you're living in
F# G
So I'll cut to the chase
G
Just don't try to leave
B
'Cause these hands are stronger than you were led to believe

Am      Em        Am
It's always a drag to be on the fence
Am      Em        Em
About who you are and its consequence
Am      Em       Em
But God knows I'll do what I need
B
That's why the Devil came and sold his fucking soul to me

Em
And I was afraid
Am                Em
That the neighbours would hear her cries
G
But I wasn't made
F#
To feel anything that's mine
