Skin And Script chords by Ira Wolf

Verse 1:

    Cm             Eb           Bb
    All you are is black ink on blue lines

F Cm                Eb             Bb
    But all I am is one notch in a bedpost

       F           Cm   Eb          Bb
    Or at most the ghost that keeps you warm

             Cm     Eb    Bb
    Just the ghost


Verse 2:

            Cm                            Eb
    We went searching for some comfort by using one another

  Bb                         Gm                  Eb
    Both needing lovers of some sort, but it was vile and it was cheap

           F                           Gm            F          Eb
    And we trade for what we need with words and curves behind closed doors


Chorus:

      Gm                 Eb
    I bought the lines I needed from you

             Bb                       F
    Slippin' out of that dress and my high heel shoes

 Gm           Eb            Bb
    I guess I needed my fix too

      Gm                        Eb
    I spent the nights, oh, you spent your words

           Bb                  F
    And we both got hooked, we both got burned

  Gm
    'Cause I move the way that you like

  Eb
    And you fed me your best lines

  Cm                     Eb     F      Cm       Eb   Bb
    And we took one more hit of skin and script

Cm Eb Bb


Verse 3:

  Cm               Eb                Bb                           Cm     Eb      Bb
    You lose me in your sleep tucked beneath the same sheets that shelter my bare skin

F Cm           Eb             Bb                  Eb                           F
    And I lose my mind when I rewind every time I tasted your sweat I breathed your heat in

  Eb                                         F                            Gm Eb Bb
    'Cause the only way you keep me warm now is burning lyrics I wrote down

 Gm F


Chorus:

          Gm                 Eb
    And I bought the lines I needed from you

             Bb                       F
    Slippin' out of that dress and my high heel shoes

  Gm          Eb           Bb
    I guess I needed my fix too

      Gm                  Eb
    I spent the night and smoked your words

            Bb                F
    'Til we both got high, we all got worse

  Gm
    'Cause I love you like you needed

  Eb
    And you became my addiction

          Cm
    Sweet and sick

                  Eb     F      Cm      Eb
    With one more hit of skin and script

  Bb F C Eb Gm G
