Verse 1:
E5                    B5
  Too bad you knew me I wasn't ready
C#5             A5
  I wasn't ready Did I say come
           E5                 B5
and get me? Too bad I held on when
                     C#5
you tried to tell me This was wrong
B5
This is wrong


Refrain 1:
C#5     B5
I am no masterpiece
      A5
where innocence is
B5            C#5
painted green Isn't
    B5
it strange to think how
A5           B5
you created all of me?


Guitar 2: in Refrain, use harmonics pedal to get the artificial harmonics sound!!!

Chorus:
E5
Done by the hands of a broken artist
B5
  You painted black where my naked heart is?
C#5
  Now I finally know what "wrong" is
B5
Now I finally know that you bleed for nothing
E5
  Carved like a stone with your hands still shaking
B5
Shown on display through a soul still
        C#5
breaking Aren't you proud you're the
                 A5
one that made me? Aren't you proud
you're the one that made me


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


Verse 2:
E5                 B5
  You can't erase these
                     C#5
lines you can't save me
                  B5
You can't display me
                       E5
You know what "dismay" means
               B5
Can't even try to remember
       C#5
what I knew Before I became
B5
your model to claim no


Refrain 2:
C#5       B5
  I am no masterpiece
    A5
so strange that you
     B5
made all of me


(Repeat chorus)


Bridge:
Ab5      C#5         A5
  I grew tired You expired
    E5          Ab5
You finished me now
     C#5
that I'm all that you
A5            E5
planned What do you think?


(Repeat Chorus)


Outro:
E5                    B5
  Too bad you knew me I wasn't ready
C#5       B5              E(hold)
  I am no masterpiece at all
