[Verse 1]
E5                  D5
Look at my mouth, a thin painted line
C5              D5
Look at my limbs, bent up and bundled in twine
E5  D5    A5    D5
Forever, ever mine
E5               D5
Form of a tree, shape of a child
  C5              D5
I wish I could cry, stuck in a permanent smile
E5  D5    A5    D5
Forever, ever mine

[Chorus]
C5      D5                  G5
I know you must have loved me sometime
    E5            C5
But now I'm just a toy
            D5                 Em911
I know you must have loved me sometime

[Verse 2]
First there was me, nothing but time
Till he came along, you told me you'd always be mine
Forever, ever mine
Look at his face, somewhat like mine
But look at his nose, you can always be sure that he's lying
Forever, ever mine

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
    G5            D5  G5  C5  G5
But now I'm just a toy who     needs  you
  D5  G5  C5  G5
A boy       to   be     who
C5  G5  G5
Needs  to   be

[Verse 3]
Better than him , worthy of you
Given the chance that he had, I know what I'd do
Forever, ever mine
I call him liar, you call him son
If I could move, I'd set him on fire and I'd run
Forever

[Chorus]
I know you must have loved me sometime
But now I'm just a toy
I know you must have loved me sometime
    G5            A5  A5
But now I'm just a toy
