[INTRO]
 
Am - Em - F - G - Am
 
 
[VERSE 1]
 
              Am                    Em
God dammit Amy, we're not kids anymore.
 
                      F                 G
You can't just keep waltzing out of my life,
 
                       Am
Leaving clothes on my bedroom floor.
 
                     Am                        Em
Like nothing really matters, like pain doesn't hurt.
 
               F             G                             Am
You should be more to me by now than just heartbreak in a short skirt.
 
 
 
[CHORUS 1]
 
G                                     C           F                G
You kind of remind me of scars on my arms that I made when I was a kid,
 
                                 C       F            G
With a disassembled disposable razor I stole from my dad,
 
                                             C
When I though that suffering was something profound,
 
               F            G
That weighed down on wise heads,
 
                  Dm                             F                   Am
And not just something to be avoided, something normal people dread.
 
 
 
[VERSE 2]
 
              Am                      Em
God dammit Amy, well of course I've changed.
 
              F                             G
With all the things that I've done and the places I've been
 
           Am
I'd be a machine if I had stayed the same.
 
                                Am                              Em
But you're still back where we started, you haven't changed at all.
 
          F                       G                    Am
You're still trying to live like a kid, like you can always have it all.
 
 
 
[CHORUS 2]
 
G                                             C           F              G
You know you kind of remind me of scars on my arms that I hid as best I could,
 
                                                    C          F         G
That I covered with ink, but in the right kind of light they still bleed through,
 
                                               C          F               G
Showing that there are some things I just can't change no matter what I do:
 
               Dm
The tell tale signs of being used,
 
        F                        Am
Of being trapped inside of you.

You're a beautiful butterfly burned with a browning iron,
Onto my outsides into my insides as a simple sign:
To show off your ownership. Burned into my naked skin,
Onto my outsides into my insides.
 
                Dm      G                 C              F
It's not even love any more, It's just a claim upon my soul.
 
              Dm                    G                C               F
It stains my skin, yeah it's on my breath, and I'm ashamed to get undressed,
 
             Dm                    G                   C            F          D
In front of strangers in case they see the tell tale signs you have left all over me.
 
 
 
[CHORUS 3]
 
                G                                       C            F            G
God dammit Amy. You'll always remind me of scars on my arms that I know will never fade.
 
                                                C        F     G
And it's not like it's something I think about each and every day:
 
                                               C                F          G
I just occasionally catch myself scratching at them, as if they'd ever go away.
 
                     Dm                                 F
But these tell tale signs are here to stay, and in the end you know that's OK.
 
           Dm                   F                       G                 Am
You will always be a part of my patched-up patchwork, taped-up tape deck heart.
