Am C
Blood print stains on the floor of a powdered room
Am C
Cracks in the mirror starting to show too soon
Dm Am C
Miss Caroline streaming down her face
Am C
Her cocaine lipstick smile is such a waste
Pre-Chorus
C G
On the floor, she's almost dead
F
She remembers the words that her father once said
[Refrão]
Am F
"No, you don't need make up to cover your face, love
C
You're beautiful now, within and without, be good to yourself
G
You're doing me proud
Am F
No, You don't need make up to cover your scars up
C
You're beautiful now, within and without, and never forget
G
You're doing me proud"

She's locked up in a prison made of thoughts
Am F C
She puts no worth on anything she's got
Am F C
'Cause no one believes that she was born this way
Am F C
And heaven knows that God don't make mistakes, no

On the floor, he's almost dead

Bridge
Am C F
He's beating himself up before he's even leaving the house
C G
He's driving himself nuts, in case we're finding him out
Yeah, he knows what society thinks
Am C
When they see this man dressing so pretty in pink
F
He's always loved to play dress up
But daddy's got something to say
C G
"You're not a screw up, boy, no more hiding away"
But she's a queen in a skin of a king
C
Never happy who she is, that's the saddest fucking thing, yeah

You're doing me proud"
Outro
Am
Oh, if someone steals your lipstick
F
And keeps your mascara dry
C
If somebody's got you crying
G
Make sure that they tease your joy
Am F C
No, you don't need make up
