🎸 Verse 1:
E minorEm
Post-sacrifice, I am stemming the blood flow
C majorC
Hammer in hand; desperate to grow
E minorEm
In order to evolve, I made a chopping block a home and I
C majorC
Gouged away at myself until I hit a bone
E minorEm        G+G         C majorC
I'm chiseling until there's nothing left
E minorEm           G+G          C majorC
Nobody could hurt me the way that I've hurt myself

🎸 Chorus:
E minorEm            G+G            C majorC
   Well, I'm breaking myself down to dust again
E minorEm            G+G         C majorC
Trying my best to make a masterpiece in the end
        E minorEm              G+G
Cos there's an angel in the marble that I'm trying to set free
C majorC                        E minorEm
Chopping and hacking to get to the best parts of me
       G+G         C majorC
Destroy to create; who would've known?
            E minorEm
There's a sacrifice for growth


🎸 Verse 2:
C majorC     E minorEm
      Fill me with wax, and then colour me gold
C majorC
Look at my scars. They're beautiful
   E minorEm
They held me together when I wanted to let go
   C majorC
I'm a kintsugi sculpture and I need it to be known

E minorEm        G+G         C majorC
I'm chiseling until there's nothing left
E minorEm           G+G          C majorC
Nobody could hurt me the way that I've hurt myself

E minorEm            G+G            C majorC

Trying my best to make a masterpiece in the end
        E minorEm              G+G
Cos there's an angel in the marble that I'm trying to set free
C majorC                        E minorEm
Chopping and hacking to get to the best parts of me
       G+G         C majorC
Destroy to create; who would've known?
            C majorC
There's a sacrifice for growth
