Intro: A-E/G#-D-- x2


Verse 1:
A             E/G#
  He likes to act like 
         D
he's all grown up
He wanted to grow 
      A     E/G#
up to be an actor
       D
But he never told 
       A
anybody He 
          E/G#
likes to spill 
           D
all of his guts
On the top of a 
             A
well stocked bar
         E/G#
And then swallow them 
       D
bit by bit            
remembering every-


Refrain 1:
  F#m        E
-scar It's a valid 
      Bm
reason  for every

is a new reason to think

Verse 2:
A                E/G#
  He likes to pretend 
               D
that he is all sewn up
It makes for a much 
         A
stronger case
But there is blood
E/G#
underneath that skin
D
That scar is not
so easy to erase
A
  He walks with a
E/G#
glass cane now
     D
He's careful when
holding his body
    A
up straight
            E/G#
Can't go outside 
anymore when
     D
it's raining
Can't smash up  
that beautiful-


Refrain 2:
 F#m
-face Another
E
innocent girl
Bm              D
  just made his list
          F#m
That self pity shit
        E
is just too hard
      D--
too resist


Chorus 1:
         A
And when we get home 
       D
you'll see that
     A
this part of him
       D
is now part of me


Post Chorus: A-E-D-- x2

      Bm
reason  for stronger
D           F#m
taste And a new tattoo 
     E             D--
is a new reason to think


Chorus 2:
         A
And when we get home 
       D
you'll see that
     A
this part of him
       D
is now part of me
         A
And when we get home 
       D
you'll see that
     A
this part of him
   D
is controlling me


Outro:
          E
Yeah it's way too easy
   D
to fake this smile
         E

              D
I'm wrong but everyone
     E               A(hold)
gets bored once in a while
