Skin Chords

[Intro]
Em G Cmaj7/E Bsus/E
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em                          G             Cmaj7/E
  I drift away to a place, another kind of life
                     Bsus/E         Em
Take away my pain, I create my paradise
                           G        Cmaj7/E
Everything I’ve held has hit the wall
                            Bsus/E      A2
What used to be yours isn’t yours at all
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am
Falling apart in all the I’m asking
C                         Dadd4
Is it a crime? Am I overreacting?
 
 
[Chorus 1]
Em Cadd9      G        D
Oh,      he’s under my skin
Em            Cadd9             G      D
  Just give me something to get rid of him
Em           Cadd9         G        D
  I’ve got a reason now to bury this alive
Em        Cadd9        G   D
  Another little white lie
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em                             G              Cmaj7/E
  So what you had didn’t fit among the pretty things
                        Bsus/E                  Em
Never fear, never fear, I now know where you’ve been
                           G             Cmaj7/E
Braids have been untied as ribbons fall away
                          Bsus/E       A2
Leave the consequence, my tears you’ll taste
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am
Falling apart in all that I question
C                              Dadd4
Is this a dream, or is this my lesson?
 
 
[Chorus 1]
Em Cadd9      G        D
Oh,      he’s under my skin
Em            Cadd9             G      D
  Just give me something to get rid of him
Em           Cadd9         G        D
  I’ve got a reason now to bury this alive
Em        Cadd9        G   D
  Another little white lie
 
 
[Bridge]
  Am
I don’t believe I’ll be alright
  C
I don’t believe I’ll be okay
  Dadd4                              C
I don’t believe how you’ve thrown me away
  Am
I do believe you didn’t try
  C
I do blame you for every lie
       Dadd4                          C
When I look in your eyes, I don’t see mine
 
 
[Chorus 2]
Em Cadd9      G        D
Oh,      he’s under my skin
Em       Cadd9             G      D
  Give me something to get rid of him
Em           Cadd9         G        D
  I’ve got a reason now to bury this alive
Em        Cadd9        G   D
  Another little white lie
Em Cadd9       G          D
Oh,      my permission to sin
Em             Cadd9        G    D
  You might have started my reckoning
Em           Cadd9         G       D
  I’ve got a reason now to bury him alive
Em
  Another little white lie
