Am riff 1
God damn it, Amy
Em riff
We're not kids anymore
F riff G riff
You can't just keep waltzing out of my life
Am riff 2
Leaving clothes on my bedrom floor
Am riff 1
Like nothing really matters
Em riff
Like pain doesn't hurt
F riff G riff
You should mean more to me by now
A riff 2 G
Than just heartbreak in a short skirt
-CHORUS-
C
You know, you kind of remind me of scars on my arm
F G
That I made when I was a kid
C F G
With a disassembled disposable razor I stole from my Dad
C F G
Back when I thought that suffering was something profound that weighed down wise heads
Dm
Not just something to be avoided
F Am riff 2
Something normal people dread

-VERSE-
Am riff 1
God damn it, Amy
Em riff
Well, of course I've changed
F riff G riff
With all the things that I've done and the places I've been
Am riff 2
I'd be a machine if I had stayed the same
Am riff 1
You're still back where we started
Em riff
You haven't changed at all
F riff G riff
Yeah, you're still trying to live like a kid
Am riff 2 G
Like you could always have it all
-CHORUS-
C
You know, you kind of remind me of scars on my arm
F G
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 that I just cannot change no matter what I do
Dm
These tell-tale signs of being used
F Am riff 2
Being trapped inside of you
-BRIDGE-
G#
G(2) A#
You're a beautiful butterfly
Dmaj7
Burned with a branding iron
Cadd9 Dsus2/C#
Onto my outsides, into my insides
Dm(2) G(2) G#
As a simple sign
G(2) A#
To show off your ownership
Dmaj7
Burnt into my naked skin
Cadd9 Dsus2/C#
On to my outsides, into my insides
Dm G
It's not even love anymore
C F
It's just a stain upon my soul
Dm G
It's on my skin and it's on my breath
C F
And I'm ashamed to get undressed
Dm G
In front of strangers in case they see
C F D
The tell tale signs that you have left all over me
G
God damn it, Amy
-OUTRO-
C
You'll always remind me of scars on my arm
F G
That I know will never fade
C F G
But it's not like it's something I think about each and every day
C F G
I just occasionally find myself scratching at them as if they'd ever go away
Dm
These tell-tale signs are here to stay
F
And in the end, you know, that's okay
Dm
Because you will always be a part
F G Am
Of my patched up, patchwork, taped up, tape deck heart
