Porcelain Chords

[Intro]
Dm
Am F
 
 
[Verse 1]
Dm
  Five years old, first contact
Am                F
Never too young to make a contract
Dm
  My blueprints supposed to last
Am              F
I don't remember the walls made of glass
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Learned to protect myself
Am             F
With a facade, hide what I want
Dm
Easier said than done
Am              F
With a mask on, I can’t take off
 
 
[Chorus]
                        Am               C      G
I've got a secret but I can't afford for you to hear it
                         Am              C        G
I’ve built a habit but I haven't got the heart to break it
                            Am          C        G
Yeah, you're putting all my common sense in past tense
                                 Am       C    G
I've got thick skin but it's all porcelain and shattering, shattering
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Am C G
           Am C G
Shattering
 
Shattering
 
 
[Verse 2]
Dm                                    Am
  Crowd of three and I'm the one left out
            F
And that was feeding this version of me now
Dm                         Am
I was folding like paper-mache
             F
Just an ember catching into flames
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm
Learned to protect myself
Am             F
All my defense is counterfeit
Dm
Harder to see the truth
Am               F
My confidence is almost spent
 
 
[Chorus]
                        Am               C      G
I've got a secret but I can't afford for you to hear it
                         Am              C        G
I’ve built a habit but I haven't got the heart to break it
                            Am          C        G
Yeah, you're putting all my common sense in past tense
                                 Am       C    G
I've got thick skin but it's all porcelain and shattering, shattering
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Am C G
           Am C G
Shattering
 
Shattering
 
 
[Bridge]
Em
Look, don't touch, it's hard enough
         F            Am
When you got a lot to lose
Em
Call my bluff when I’m too tough
       F             Am
I need you to cut me loose
                    Em     F      Am
From the prison I'm in, in my own mind
                   Em                   F
Yeah, you carry me through when I'm too tired
 
 
[Chorus]
                        Am               C      G
I've got a secret but I can't afford for you to hear it
                         Am              C        G
I’ve built a habit but I haven't got the heart to break it
                            Am          C        G
Yeah, you're putting all my common sense in past tense
                                 Am       C    G
I've got thick skin but it's all porcelain and shattering, shattering
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
Am C G
           Am C G
Shattering
          Am C G
Shattering
               Am C G
Oh, shattering
 
 
[Outro]
