Scarecrow chords by Citizen Soldier

🎸 Verse 1:
Fm                                G
I chained my ghost up in a basement
Gm                        C
Six feet back behind my eyes
Fm                                G
Some nights I think this house is gonna cave in
Gm                        C
Rejection has me terrified




🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Fm                                G
Now I hang from a wooden frame
Gm
It keeps the crows away
            C
This is where I'm safe
Fm                                G
Made of straw and a funny face
        Gm                               C
Turns out being fake can be a saving grace

🎸 Chorus:
Fm                              C
You can't kill me if I'm already dead
G                                         Gm
Buried alive by the things that they've said
       C
I killed myself but no one knows
                   G
You're not talking to me;
           Bm
You're talking to a scarecrow!
Fm                                     C
Who I Am only put me through hell
G                                         Gm
I'm bulletproof when I'm somebody else
       C
I killed myself but no one knows
                   G
You're not talking to me;
           Bm
You're talking to a scarecrow!

🎸 Verse 2:
Fm                                G
I hid my heart up in the attic
Gm                        C
Stuck pieces deep inside these walls
Fm                                G
For every time I was ignored or called dramatic
Gm                        C
I'm only safe feeling nothing at all

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Fm                                G
Now I hang from a wooden frame
Gm                        C
It keeps the crows away
Fm
I'm better off insane
                                     G
I cut the skin to make a brand new face
                   Gm
'Cause back when I was me
                        C
I lived to be replaced

🎸 Chorus:
Fm                              C
You can't kill me if I'm already dead
G                                         Gm
Buried alive by the things that they've said

I'm bulletproof when I'm somebody else
       C
I killed myself but no one knows
                   G
You're not talking to me;
           Bm
You're talking to a scarecrow!

🎸 Bridge:
Fm
Secret suicide
But no one can tell
             G
'Cause I'm just terrified of being myself
         Gm
The real me's inside
But no one can tell
              C
'Cause disappearing hurts less
Than asking for help
