[Intro]
Dm Am Bb F
[Verse 1]
Dm
They’re happy if you're skin and bones
Am Bb F C
They're happy when you're fighting for your life
Dm
They don't care if you're hungry now
Am
They'll notice when your stomach's out
Bb F
They're mad when you're so weak you want to die
Dm
And I can't keep them happy now
Am
I've done all that I know how
Bb F C
I'll cover up my skin to make you comfortable
Dm
They won't stop talking f*cking loud
Am
I hear what they say about me now
Bm F
But I'm stuck in this useless body
[Chorus]
Dm Am
They tell me to swallow tapeworms
Bb F
To eat up all my sin
Dm Am
They tell me to starve my f*cking self
Bb F
'Til I can wear size negative ten
Dm Am
My body feels like hell and I know this feeling well
Bb F
Gonna rip off all of my skin
Dm Am
He says I'll feel sick
Bb F
At least I'll get
Dm Am Bb F
Pretty again
Dm
Ooooh
Bb F
Oooh
[Verse 2]
Dm
They're happy when you shut your mouth
Am Bb F C
They're happy when you have nothing to say ayyyy
Dm
And this is what I have been taught
Am
Eighteen years of sh*tty luck
Bb F
I guess that it was meant to be this way
Dm
But I can't let them hide me again
Am
I've done my f*cking best to stand
Bb F C
So why do they want me so weak and small?
Dm
I'm done hiding the scars you gave
Am
My body's not meant for your grave
Bb F
I try to take a stand, but I always fall
[Chorus]
Dm Am
And they tell me to swallow tapeworms
Bb F
To eat up all my sin
Dm Am
They tell me to starve my f*cking self
Bb F
'Til I can wear size negative ten
Dm Am
My body feels like hell and I know this feeling well
Bb F
Gonna rip off all of my skin
Dm Am
He says I'll feel sick
Bb F
At least I'll get-
Dm Am
I won't swallow tapeworms
Bb F
My luck has not run out
Dm Am
You wouldn't say I'm perfect
Bb F
But I'm happier, no doubt
Dm Am
The body that I'm in, it's been with me thick and thin
Bb F
And I wouldn't be here without
Dm Am
I'm who I'm meant to be
Bb F
I know that makes me
Dm Am
Pretty again
Bb F
Dm Am
Oooohh
Bb F
Oohhh
