Beneath The Skin (acoustic)

Capo 1 Intro: Am Am C F G Another day she sets foot in this prison, dreading what they'll say. Am C So much to give, but no one ever listens. F G She dreams of running away. Am C F G Crippled by the way they make her feel, she takes a look at her wrists & turns to the blade. Am C F G It's not a cry for attention if she just wants to feel anything other than the pain. Am C F G Everyone deserves to be loved, but they make her hate everything she was sure of! Am C Every day feels like her against the world. F G Now she's afraid she'll never be enough. Am C F No one knows all the weight that she holds when she feels alone. G The memories, they haunt her. Am C F No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes. G She feels they'll never want her. Am C F G She dreams of a day when she won't have to cry herself to sleep. Am C F G Staring at the scars on her wrists she knows this is not who she wants to be. Am C F G Another night all alone with her thoughts, dwelling on the questions that race through her head. Am C F G Scared to sleep, scared to wake up & face the day when she can't forget the things that they said. Am C F No one knows all the weight that she holds when she feels alone. G The memories, they haunt her. Am C F No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes. G She feels they'll never want her. Am C F G All she wants is someone to notice; so sick of feeling invisible. Am C F All she needs is someone to care. G If only they could see that she's incredible. Am C F G She dreams of a day when she won't have to cry herself to sleep. Am Is our generation too blind to see true beauty lies beneath the skin? Am So ignorant! Am C F G Are they too cold, too numb to see the lifelong effects of the pain they inflict? Am C F G Is our generation too blind to see true beauty lies beneath the skin? Am C F G No one knows all the weight that she holds when she feels alone. Am C F G No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes. Am C F No one knows all the weight that she holds when she feels alone. G The memories, they haunt her. Am C F No one sees all the pain she brings everywhere she goes. G She feels they'll never want her. Am C F G All she wants is someone to notice; so sick of feeling invisible. Am C F All she needs is someone to care. G If only they could see that she's incredible. Am C F G She dreams of a day when she won't have to cry herself to sleep. Am C F G Staring at the scars on her wrists she knows this is not who she wants to be. End on Am
