INTRO:
Dbm B Dbm A Dbm B Dbm B
E A
You were always too skinny
Dbm B
Skin and bones from head to toe
E A
You were always too willing
Dbm B
To close your eyes and let it go
A E
Dodging raindrops and falling through the cracks
A F#m
You never looked the same, we never threw you back
B
Like a fish outta water, there?s something we oughta be doing
E A Dbm B (rpt)
F#m A
With more meat on your bones you wouldn?t be so alone they said
B
But they left you here instead
A B
To bend your back and break your neck
Dbm B
Da da da da da...
Dbm A B
Da da da da da...
E A Dbm B (rpt)
E A
You were always too pretty
Dbm B
From Sunday?s best to Monday?s mess
E A
You were always too willing
Dbm B
To find your way and lose your breath
A E
Blowing in the wind and falling through the sky
A F#m
You never felt the same, you didn?t have to try
B F#m A E
Like an accident waiting ... there was something we shoulda be saying
E A Dbm B
its alright
(Continue E A Dbm B throughout)
Every smile, every rumour, if it means something to you, it?s alright
Every time they see through you, if it means something to you, it?s alright
It?s alright
