Verse 1:
E                    B
  Too bad you knew me I wasn't ready
C#m             A
  I wasn't ready Did I say come
           E                 B
and get me? Too bad I held on when
                     C#m
you tried to tell me This was wrong
B
This is wrong


Refrain 1:
C#m     B
I am no masterpiece
      A
where innocence is
B            C#m
painted green Isn't
    B
it strange to think how
A           B
you created all of me?

Chorus:
E
Done by the hands of a broken artist
B
  You painted black where my naked heart is?
C#m
  Now I finally know what "wrong" is
B
Now I finally know that you bleed for nothing
E
  Carved like a stone with your hands still shaking
B
Shown on display through a soul still
        C#m
breaking Aren't you proud you're the
                 A
one that made me? Aren't you proud
you're the one that made me


Interlude: E--B--C#m--B--


Verse 2:
E                 B
  You can't erase these
                     C#m
lines you can't save me
                  B
You can't display me
                       E
You know what "dismay" means
               B
Can't even try to remember
       C#m
what I knew Before I became
B
your model to claim no


Refrain 2:
C#m       B
  I am no masterpiece
    A
so strange that you
     B
made all of me

A            E
planned What do you think?


(Repeat Chorus)

E                    B
  Too bad you knew me I wasn't ready

  I am no masterpiece at all
