Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) Intro: Gm D# A# D (THE D CHORD IS PLAYED BY MOVING THE A# SHAPE DOWN TO THE 5TH FRETT.) Verse 1: Gm Your moral compass spinning D# Prayin' knees are bent but trembling A# You're more bruise than bleed these days D but still Gm If it doesn't hurt it can't be trusted D# You can't breathe without percussion A# Howlin' through the downbeat D Trip over the ghost note
Chorus: Gm You're a stranger in your own skin D# A wound closed then reopened A# A crescendo to tailspin D again Gm Your hands around your own neck D# The earthquake twitching on deck A# The understudy's roses rotting Verse 2: Gm The upper hand is a fist tonight D# 'Cause you won't heal without a fight A# Your home is in the breakdown D and the fall Gm The medicine is in the pocket D# Of a skeleton in your closet A# It's still just a size D too small
Chorus: Gm 'Cause you're a stranger in your own skin D# A wound closed then reopened A# A crescendo to tailspin D again Gm Your hands around your own neck D# The earthquake twitching on deck A# The understudy's roses rotting Verse 3: Gm Your moral compass spinning D# Prayin' knees are bent but trembling A# You're more bruise than bleed these days D but still Gm The medicine is in the pocket D# Of a skeleton in your closet A# It's still just a size D too small Chorus: Gm You're a stranger in your own skin D# A wound closed then reopened A# A crescendo to tailspin D again Gm Your hands around your own neck D# The earthquake twitching on deck A# The understudy's roses rotting Outro: Gm You're a stranger in your own skin D# A wound closed then reopened A# A crescendo to tailspin D again Gm You're a stranger in your own skin D# A wound closed then reopened A# A crescendo to tailspin D again Gm
