[Verse]
Am C
You treat me jealously like a
Dm7 G7 Am
precious work of art
Am C7
Something no one else can touch but
Dm7 G7 Am
secretly you rip apart
C C7
Guess you’ll show me that I’m delicate by
Em E7
getting me to shatter
C C7
Your words proclaiming love while your
E7
hands leave me in tatters
[Verse]
Am C
I know you’ll be proud of me
Dm7 G7 Am
once I achieve perfection
Am C7
I struggled desperately
Dm7 G7 Am
to become your reflection
C Em Am
Your world is so simple, so rigid black and white
C C7
So I can either be true to myself
Em E7
or I can be all right.
[Chorus]
Am C
I tried to find, find, find you
Am G
I was a child, child child, ooh
Am
Don’t know if you were ever sorry after
G
Don’t know if that’d even matter
F Am
I cradled the fear like a trembling mirror
G7 Am G7
Thinking I deserve to shatter, oo-ooh
G7 Am G7
Thinking I deserve to shatter, oo-ooh
[Verse]
Am C
My bloody footprints trace
Dm7 G7 Am
a silent red accusal
Am C7
Cuz your eggshells sharp as knives
Dm7 G7 Am
cut like your disapproval
C C7 Em
I better hurry, clean this mess before you see
C C7 E7
Shove the whole mess deep inside just don’t embarrass me
[Verse]
Am C
Yeah I’m dying inside
Dm7 G7 Am
but that’s so much less crucial
Am C7
Than to smile convincingly
Dm7 G7 Am
for everyone’s approva-aaal
C C7 Em
Cuz each time I stagger, whenever I falter
C C7 Em
it makes me less worthy, of being your daughte--
C C7 Em
-eeerrrrr Ooooooh
C7 C Em
Ohhhhhhhh
[Chorus]
Am C
I tried to find, find, find you
Am G
I was a child, child child, ooh
Am
Don’t know if you were ever sorry after
G
Don’t know if that’d even matter
F7 Am
I accepted the fear and spent so many years
G7 Am G7
Thinking I deserve to shatter, oo-ooh
G7 Am G7
Thinking I deserve to shatter, oo-ooh
[Verse]
Am C
You tell me I’d be good enough
Dm7 G7 Am
If almost didn’t matter and
Am C
When you say I’m almost smart enough, you're
Dm7 G7 Am
offended I’m not flattered and
C
My small bones grew to fill
C7 Em
This knowledge you impart
C C7 E7 Em
You can show how much you love someone by how bad you break their heart--
C C7 Em
-eaaaaaaaaart
C Em
Ohhhhhhhh
[Verse]
Am
must not have been that bad
C Dm7 G7 Am
Cuz my heart’s still beating
Am C
But I can feel the scars
Dm7 G7 Am
And they’re all still bleeding
C C7
Your ghosts are wolves after lambs
E Em
And now my own kids are bleating
C C7 E E7
But I’ll be good god damned if I watch history repeating
[Chorus]
Am C
I’ve come to remiiiiiiiiind you
Am G
Are you surpriiiiiiiised, ooh
Am
Bringing this up so long after
G
But the scars that shaped me matter
F7 Am
Fuck that fear and those words I still hear
G7 Am G7
Some day I’ll be too strong to shatter, oo-ooh
G7 Am G7
Yeah far too strong to shatter, oo-ooh
Am7
You’ll never make me shatter
