[VERSE 1]

              Chord diagramA minorAm                    Chord diagramE minorEm
God dammit Amy, we're not kids anymore.

                      Chord diagramFF                 Chord diagramG+G
You can't just keep waltzing out of my life,

                       Chord diagramA minorAm
Leaving clothes on my bedroom floor.

                     Chord diagramA minorAm                        Chord diagramE minorEm
Like nothing really matters, like pain doesn't hurt.

               Chord diagramFF             Chord diagramG+G                             Chord diagramA minorAm
You should be more to me by now than just heartbreak in a short skirt.

[CHORUS 1]

Chord diagramG+G                                     Chord diagramC majorC           Chord diagramFF                Chord diagramG+G
You kind of remind me of scars on my arms that I made when I was a kid,

                                 Chord diagramC majorC       Chord diagramFF            Chord diagramG+G
With a disassembled disposable razor I stole from my dad,

                                             Chord diagramC majorC
When I though that suffering was something profound,

               Chord diagramFF            Chord diagramG+G
That weighed down on wise heads,

                  Chord diagramDmDm                             Chord diagramFF                   Chord diagramA minorAm
And not just something to be avoided, something normal people dread.

[VERSE 2]

              Chord diagramA minorAm                      Chord diagramE minorEm
God dammit Amy, well of course I've changed.

              Chord diagramFF                             Chord diagramG+G
With all the things that I've done and the places I've been

           Chord diagramA minorAm
I'd be a machine if I had stayed the same.

                                Chord diagramA minorAm                              Chord diagramE minorEm
But you're still back where we started, you haven't changed at all.

          Chord diagramFF                       Chord diagramG+G                    Chord diagramA minorAm
You're still trying to live like a kid, like you can always have it all.


[CHORUS 2]

Chord diagramG+G                                             Chord diagramC majorC           Chord diagramFF              Chord diagramG+G
You know you kind of remind me of scars on my arms that I hid as best I could,

                                                    Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramFF         Chord diagramG+G
That I covered with ink, but in the right kind of light they still bleed through,

                                               Chord diagramC majorC          Chord diagramFF               Chord diagramG+G
Showing that there are some things I just can't change no matter what I do:

               Chord diagramDmDm
The tell tale signs of being used,

        Chord diagramFF                        Chord diagramA minorAm
Of being trapped inside of you.

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.

                Chord diagramDmDm      Chord diagramG+G                 Chord diagramC majorC              Chord diagramFF
It's not even love any more, It's just a claim upon my soul.

              Chord diagramDmDm                    Chord diagramG+G                Chord diagramC majorC               Chord diagramFF
It stains my skin, yeah it's on my breath, and I'm ashamed to get undressed,

             Chord diagramDmDm                    Chord diagramG+G                   Chord diagramC majorC            Chord diagramFF          Chord diagramD MajorD
In front of strangers in case they see the tell tale signs you have left all over me.


[CHORUS 3]

                Chord diagramG+G                                       Chord diagramC majorC            Chord diagramFF            Chord diagramG+G
God dammit Amy. You'll always remind me of scars on my arms that I know will never fade.

                                                Chord diagramC majorC        Chord diagramFF     Chord diagramG+G
And it's not like it's something I think about each and every day:

                                               Chord diagramC majorC                Chord diagramFF          Chord diagramG+G
I just occasionally catch myself scratching at them, as if they'd ever go away.

                     Chord diagramDmDm                                 Chord diagramFF
But these tell tale signs are here to stay, and in the end you know that's OK.

           Chord diagramDmDm                   Chord diagramFF                       Chord diagramG+G                 Chord diagramA minorAm
