[INTRO]
A minorAm - E minorEm - FF - G+G - A minorAm
[VERSE 1]
A minorAm E minorEm
God dammit Amy, we're not kids anymore.
FF G+G
You can't just keep waltzing out of my life,
A minorAm
Leaving clothes on my bedroom floor.
A minorAm E minorEm
Like nothing really matters, like pain doesn't hurt.
FF G+G A minorAm
You should be more to me by now than just heartbreak in a short skirt.
[CHORUS 1]
G+G C majorC FF G+G
You kind of remind me of scars on my arms that I made when I was a kid,
C majorC FF G+G
With a disassembled disposable razor I stole from my dad,
C majorC
When I though that suffering was something profound,
FF G+G
That weighed down on wise heads,
DmDm FF A minorAm
And not just something to be avoided, something normal people dread.
[VERSE 2]
A minorAm E minorEm
God dammit Amy, well of course I've changed.
FF G+G
With all the things that I've done and the places I've been
A minorAm
I'd be a machine if I had stayed the same.
A minorAm E minorEm
But you're still back where we started, you haven't changed at all.
FF G+G A minorAm
You're still trying to live like a kid, like you can always have it all.
[CHORUS 2]
G+G C majorC FF G+G
You know you kind of remind me of scars on my arms that I hid as best I could,
C majorC FF G+G
That I covered with ink, but in the right kind of light they still bleed through,
C majorC FF G+G
Showing that there are some things I just can't change no matter what I do:
DmDm
The tell tale signs of being used,
FF A minorAm
Of being trapped inside of you.
[BRIDGE]

You're a beautiful butterfly burned with a browning iron,
Onto my outsides into my insides as a simple sign:
To show off your ownership. Burned into my naked skin,
Onto my outsides into my insides.
DmDm G+G C majorC FF
It's not even love any more, It's just a claim upon my soul.
DmDm G+G C majorC FF
It stains my skin, yeah it's on my breath, and I'm ashamed to get undressed,
DmDm G+G C majorC FF D MajorD
In front of strangers in case they see the tell tale signs you have left all over me.
[CHORUS 3]
G+G C majorC FF G+G
God dammit Amy. You'll always remind me of scars on my arms that I know will never fade.
C majorC FF G+G
And it's not like it's something I think about each and every day:
C majorC FF G+G
I just occasionally catch myself scratching at them, as if they'd ever go away.
DmDm FF
But these tell tale signs are here to stay, and in the end you know that's OK.
DmDm FF G+G A minorAm
