Key: G

Intro:

Em  G7  C  Cm


Verse 1:
       G                         G7/F
Memory fails me, names and faces blur
              C           Cm
There is only after, or before
           G
Am I so different? Have I changed?
         G/F
I do not recognise my face
              C
The scar fades, it pulls inside
Em            D
Tugging at me all the time
G                        G7
Chewing on a feeling and spitting it out
    C              Cm
Crouched in a ball gown
G                 G7/F
Anxious and ashamed
    C                     Cm
The vague humiliations of fame

Chorus:
              G
I do not find worthiness a virtue
G
I no longer try to be good
          C
It didn't keep me safe
                            Cm
Like you told me that it would
            G
So come on, tear me wide open
  G/F
A terrible gift
        C
Let the chorus console me
Cm           G
Sympathy magic


Verse 2:
                                 G/F
And a light coming in the window just so
             C
And the wind through my fingers
         Cm
The only God that I know
            G                            G/F
And it does not want me on my knees to believe
     C
Head high, arms wide
C
Aching, aching, aching


Chorus:
     G  G/F
And alive
     C  Cm
And alive
           G
So I don't have to be worthy
            G/F
I no longer try to be good
          C
It didn't keep me safe
                         D/F#
Like you told me that it would
            G
So come on, tear me wide open
         G/F
Till I'm losing my mind
          C
Till I cannot contain it
      Cm
La-da-da-da-da-da-da


Outro:
        G
So come on, come on, I can take it
        G/F
Give me everything you got
     C                     Em         D/F#
What else? What else? What else? What else?
        G                         G/F
So come on, come on, I can take it
         C
