  C7/F C7/Ab

You can tell
     C/FC/F
from the scars on my arms
and the cracks in my hips
    C/Ab
and the dents in my car
and the blisters on my lips
     D MajorD    FF
that i'm not the carefullest of girls

you can tell
     C/FC/F
from the glass on the floor
and the strings that're breaking
   C/Ab
and i keep on breaking more
and it looks like i am shaking
     D MajorD
but it's just the temperature
FF
and then again
      C majorC            FF
if it were any colder i could disengage
          D MajorD
if i were any older i would act my age
      FF
but i dont think that you'd believe me
   C majorC        FF
it's not the way i'm meant to be
       D MajorD
it's just the way the operation made me

and you can tell
     C/FC/F
from the state of my room
that they let me out too soon
    C/Ab
and the pills that i ate
came a couple years too late
    D MajorD           FF
and ive got some issues to work through
there i go again
  C majorC        FF
pretending to be you
make-believing
    A minorAm
that i have a soul beneath the surface
E MajorE
trying to convince you
    F*
it was accidentally on purpose

C7/F  C7/Ab

DbDb
i am not so serious
   Eb MajorEb
this passion is a plagiarism
Bb majorBb
i might join your century
  DbDb
but only on a rare occasion
DbDb
i was taken out
      Eb MajorEb
before the labor pains set in and now
 Bb majorBb
behold the world's worst accident
FF
i am the girl anachronism

C7/F  C7/Ab  C7/F  C7/Ab

and you can tell
    C/FC/F
by the red in my eyes
and the bruises on my thighs
    C/Ab
and the knots in my hair
and the bathtub full of flies
     D MajorD          FF
that i'm not right now at all
there i go again
   C majorC
pretending that i'll fall
FF
don't call the doctors
       D MajorD         FF
cause they've seen it all before
they'll say just
C majorC         FF
let her crash and burn she'll learn
   D MajorD
the attention just encourages her

and you can tell
     C/FC/F
from the full-body cast
that you are sorry that you asked
        C/Ab
though you did everything you could
like any decent person would
   D MajorD              FF
but i might be catching so don't touch
                C majorC          FF
you'll start believing youre immune to gravity and stuff
don't get me wet
      D MajorD           FF
because the bandages will all come off

and you can tell
     C/FC/F
from the smoke at the stake
that the current state is critical
C/Ab
well it is the little things, for instance:
    C/FC/F
in the time it takes to break it she can make up ten excuses:
please excuse her for the day, its just the way the medication makes her...

C7/F  C7/Ab

DbDb          Eb MajorEb
i dont necessarily believe there is a cure for this
  Bb majorBb              DbDb
so i might join your century but only as a doubtful guest
DbDb           Eb MajorEb
i was too precarious removed as a caesarian
 Bb majorBb
behold the worlds worst accident
