Make Up Smeared Eyes
View chords used in this chart
C E/C
Left your t-shirt in my room
Am G/C
Still smells of you
C E/C
And the picture you hung on the door
Am G/C
Lay smashed, picture perfect
C E/C
Explains now
Am G/C
Clearly nothing left but a memory
C E/C
We only made out
Am
You never kissed me
G/C
That's how I learned to hold back all feeling
C Am
Wait, please don't go
Em
I won't stay
G
All these words on replay
C Am
I'm okay
Em
It's all right
G
Good to know that you're fine
C Am Em G
Pretending everything is right to make it better
C Am Em
I'll hide my make-up smeared eyes
G
To show that I'm fine
C E/C Am
Some how you have managed to get under my skin
G/C
More than anyone ever did
C E/C
And if every hole makes a scar
Am G/C
And every scar marks its place
C E/C Am G/C
Then I will never live freely without your trace
C
And it'll never be fair
Am G/C
I wrote my songs for you and you never even cared
C E/C
So I'll forget you
Am G/C
I'll wash your t-shirt and kill the pillow
And cut you out of pictures
Wait, please don't go
I won't stay
All these words on replay
I'm okay
It's all right
Good to know that you're fine
Pretending everything is right to make it better
I'll hide my make-up smeared eyes
F
This drama sat shotgun
G/C
My eyes rained like autumn
C E/C
Only the glove box knows how the story goes
F
Now that this bandage is broken
G/C
And the cuts left in open
C
I'll tell you just one thing
E/C
This wasn't worth the sting (3x)
