   G (320003@1)               D (xx0232@1)     
He left a card and a bar of soap with 
 Em (022000@1)                Cscrubbing (x32010@1)brush next to a note,
           G (320003@1)        D (xx0232@1)             Em (022000@1)      CThat (x32010@1)said "use these down to your bones".
      G (320003@1)                D (xx0232@1)          
And before I knew I had shiny skin and
   Em (022000@1)             C (x32010@1)it felt easy being clean like him,
           G (320003@1)             D (xx0232@1)           Em (022000@1)    CI (x32010@1)thought "this one knows better than I do"

Am (x02210@1)                  CA (x32010@1)triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
Am (x02210@1)                      C (x32010@1)       
He tried to cut me so I'd fit

D (xx0232@1)                  G (320003@1)                    
And doesn't that sound familiar?
                      D (xx0232@1)Doesn't that hit too close to home?
                       Em (022000@1)                          CDoesn't (x32010@1)that make you shiver; the way things could've gone?
                       G (320003@1)                          D (xx0232@1)          
And doesn't it feel peculiar that everyone wants a little more.
               Em (022000@1)                    C (x32010@1)So that I do remember to never go that far,
                           G (320003@1)    D (xx0232@1)     Em (022000@1)      C (x32010@1) }x2
Could you leave me with a scar ah-ah?

G (320003@1)                  DSo (xx0232@1)the next one came with a bag of treats,
     Em (022000@1)                  CShe (x32010@1)smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea
    G (320003@1)                  D (xx0232@1)          Em (022000@1)        CShe (x32010@1)told me don't, trust them trust me.
         G (320003@1)                   DThen (xx0232@1)she pulled at my stitches one by one,
Em (022000@1)                  CLooked (x32010@1)at my insides clicking her tongue,
          G (320003@1)            D (xx0232@1)               Em (022000@1)      CAnd (x32010@1)said "This will all have to come undone".

Am (x02210@1)                  C (x32010@1)         
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle,
Am (x02210@1)                         CShe (x32010@1)tried to blunt me so I'd fit.

D (xx0232@1)                  GAnd (320003@1)doesn't that sound familiar?
                      DDoesn't (xx0232@1)that hit too close to home?
                       EmDoesn't (022000@1)that make you shiver;
                           Cthe (x32010@1)way things could have gone?
                       GAnd (320003@1)doesn't it feel peculiar, 
                       Dthat (xx0232@1)everyone wants a little more?
                Em (022000@1)                    C (x32010@1)So that I do remember to never go that far,

G (320003@1)I think I realized just in time,
          D (xx0232@1)about my old self was hard to find.
         Em (022000@1)                                 CYou (x32010@1)can bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine.
           G (320003@1)        
'Cos I'm a little bit tired of fearing that
            DI'll (xx0232@1)be the bad fruit nobody buys,
Em (022000@1)                                      CTell (x32010@1)me, did you think we'd all dream the same?

G (320003@1)                    
And doesn't that sound familiar?
                      D (xx0232@1)Doesn't that hit too close to home?
