Dermatillomania chords by Laura Stevenson

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse:
   G+G
This acid flush of shame
  D MajorD
Can only be man-made
  E minorEm  D MajorD   G+G     C majorC   G+G      D MajorD
Its ugly roses bloom and wither when I look away
  G+G
The photographic bulb
  D MajorD
It flashes and explodes
E minorEm  D MajorD    G+G   C majorC     G+G    D MajorD
Only when I'm edging close to feeling weightless

    E minorEm        C majorC
I'm a finger-breadth away
           G+G
And then I see your face

Interlude:
G+G D MajorD

E minorEm D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD

Verse:
     G+G
Are you rolling in your grave
     D MajorD
While I soak it with my piss?
     E minorEm   D MajorD    G+G    C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
From the basement of your house, I can't find my way out of it
  G+G
So scar up where it counts
  D MajorD
No one can see me now
 E minorEm  D MajorD  G+G C majorC   G+G    D MajorD
Dermatillomania, we lay our flags down
     E minorEm      C majorC
And it's not a sign of hope
   E minorEm       C majorC
It's not a suit of armor
     D MajorD
Only a reminder


Verse:
  G+G        D MajorD
In them I see your face
  E minorEm        C majorC
Its features are the skyline of
 G+G      D MajorD
a city I can't place
 E minorEm        C majorC
A augmentedA city struck with plague and now
   G+G        D MajorD
your eyes are out of frame
     E minorEm        C majorC
But I'll always know your name
    G+G       D MajorD          C majorC
You're lucky that you died before I could sing

Interlude:
G+G D MajorD

E minorEm D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G D MajorD

Outro:
E minorEm       C majorC
Now you're exorcised
E minorEm       C majorC
Now that I have hexed you
E minorEm       C majorC       G+G
Now you're exorcised from my mind
