Chords by: guitargirl80

Standard tuning.


                 
He left a card a bar of soap

                         
And a scrubbing brush next to a note 

                                        
That said use these down to your bones 

                         
And before i knew I had shiny skin 

                        
And it felt easy being clean like him 

                                           
I thought this one knows better than I do 


pre-chorus:

                                      
A triangle trying to squeeze thru a circle 

                                    
He tried to cut me so I'd fit

Chorus

                      
Doesnt that sound familiar 

                              
Doesnt that his too close to home 

                      
Doesnt that make you shiver 

                           
The way things could have gone 

                    
Doesnt that feel peculiar 

                        
That everyone wants a little more 

                    
And so that I do remember

                 
To never go that far 

	    	          
Could you leave me with a scar


Verse 2


So the next one came with a bag of treats, 
she smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea
And she told me don't trust them, trust me
Then she pulled at my stitches one by one, 
Looked at my insides clicking her tongue 
And said "This will all have to come undone"

pre-chorus

A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
She tried to blunt me so I'd fit


Chorus 2  last line *chord change:

	    	          *
Could you leave me with a scar


Instrumental is a bit like this,' - '= one beat
 
Dm---F---C---G---Dm---F---(stop)


Bridge (No chords)                                             

I think I realized just in time

Although my old self was hard to find
                                              
You can bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine



(SINGLE NOTES ONLY)

                                
'Cos I'm a little bit tired of fearing that I'll be the 


Bad fruit nobody buys

                                         
Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?



The first half of the last chorus is just guitar, I like to play the chords like this:


C      0 3 2 0 1 0   

G6     X 2 0 0 3 0   (Instead of G)

C6     X 0 2 0 1 3   (Instead of Am)

F      X 3 3 2 1 1

Then the normal chords for the last part.
