• Key: Cm
• Capo on 3rd

🎸 Verse 1:
                        Am
You should take it as a compliment
                               G
If I were you
I would be more confident

You're lucky that you're pretty
        Dm
Why are you obsessed with your appearance?
  C
I don't wanna hear it, you're fine



🎸 Pre-Chorus:
             Am
It's been my best-kept secret for a while now
G

No one ever sees it, but it's all around
         D
It's the dinner conversation no one talks about
           Am*                  N.C.
Don't know how much longer I can keep this down


🎸 Chorus:
Am
    Beauty is a knife
                         G
I've been holding by the blade
                                   Dm
Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything
                               C
It's all a lie, honestly, it's eating me alive

They're all like
Am
   Did you change your hair?
                      G
Did you lose a little weight?
                                             Dm
You should keep it up 'cause it really looks great
                             C
I hate that I always look my best
         N.C.
When I'm dying on the inside
Am     G                                Dm        C
           When I'm dying on the inside


🎸 Verse 2:
               Am
I wish I could break the mirror
                                       G
It makes me feel like I should fucking disappear
                                 Dm
And drown my demons in a bathtub filled with tears
                           C
No matter what I try, they always seem to come back to life


🎸 Pre-Chorus 2:
Am
What if I didn't do this to my body?
G
What if I quit and then you don't want me?
    D
The dinner conversation no one talks about
           C                     N.C.
Don't know how much longer I can keep this down


🎸 Chorus:
Am
    Beauty is a knife
                         G
I've been holding by the blade
                                   Dm
Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything
                               C
It's all a lie, honestly, it's eating me alive

They're all like

   Did you change your hair?
                      G

                                             Dm
You should keep it up 'cause it really looks great
                             C
I hate that I always look my best
         N.C.
When I'm dying on the inside
Am     G                                Dm        C
           When I'm dying on the inside

When I'm dying on the inside
