Claws In Your Back chords by Julien Baker

Love julien more than anything. here's the chords for the last (incredible) song on her album, if you think I
missed something feel free to let me know in the comments.


intro:

Bm  D  G  Em


verse:

Bm               D
Collecting the circles that tell us
     G             Em
How old we are beneath our eyelids
 Bm           D            G
Wearing a purple badge to prove what I did
            Em             Bm
Pump the vitals out of my wrist
               D            G             Em           Bm    D    G    Em
'Cause I'm conducting an experiment on how it feels to die
           Bm    D     G     Em
Or stay alive

Bm                D                  G
So try to stay calm, 'cause nobody knows
              Em                   Bm
The violent partner you carry around
                    D                   G
With claws in your back, ripping your clothes
                    Em              Bm
And listing your failures out loud
                      D                  G
It's more than the skeleton next to my coat
                    Em                       Bm
The black that I held in the back of my throat
                  D               G
Follows you straight into the dark;
              Em                 Bm   D  G
The easy way out and the hardest part
              Bm  D  G       Em
When it won't leave me alone
      Bm         G
I'm better off learning
         D
How to be
   Em        Bm
Living with demons I've
    G           D
Mistaken for saints
       Em          Bm
If you keep it between us
    G                 D
I think they're the same
    Em         Bm
I think I can love
      G            D
The sickness You made
             Em       Bm               G
'Cause I take it all back, I changed my mind
            D     Em     Bm     G
I wanted to stay
             D    Bm     G
