verse 1
D
D C
If I could crawl into a shell
D
Then I would a mile away
C D
Things are heavy enough already
D
And I really do think that's
C
The best that I can do
D
Stuck here and all
And I really do think that
C
Don't care at all
D C
Take a step forwards
Don't be afraid
D
Take a step backwards
C D
Don't be afraid
D
So go on
C
So look back
D
Stuck inside a heavy shell
C
Try to walk and not be pushed
[Refrão]
G A A4
And the man with no skin
D Dsus2 G
I would not let him in
G A D Dsus2 G
Would not let him sign off
G A A4
'Cause nobody wants to see
D Dsus2 G
A beating heart
G
Or a lung
A A4
Or a brain
D
verse 2
D C
Used to get so caught up
D
Used to get so wrapped up
C
Now I find myself feeling
D
Disillusioned and emotionless
C
Like I've been betrayed
D
This world let me down
C
In a big way
D
Now I feel like a dog maimed
C
Picking at fleas
Picking at fleas
[Refrão]
G A A4
And the man with no skin
D Dsus2 G
I would not let him in
G A D Dsus2 G
Would not let him sign off
G A A4
'Cause nobody wants to see
D Dsus2 G
A beating heart
G
Or a lung
A A4
Or a brain
D
verse 3
D
It's hard to walk
C
With broken legs
D
It gets hard to breathe
C
Without lungs
D
It's hard to love the world
C
Without a heart
D
What else should I cut out?
C
Where do I start?
[Refrão]
G A A4
And the man with no skin
D Dsus2 G
I would not let him in
G A D Dsus2 G
Would not let him sign off
G A A4
'Cause nobody wants to see
D Dsus2 G
A beating heart
G
Or a lung
A A4
Or a brain
D Dsus2 G D/F#
verse 4
D A
Start to grow a second skin
D Dsus2 G D/F#
To keep the insides in
G A A4 D Dsus2 G D/F#
This one is obviously not thick enough
D A
It's time to grow a second skin
D Dsus2 G D/F#
Keep the insides in
G A A4 D Dsus2 G D/F#
And maybe get some longer and mask(?)
G A A4 D Dsus2 G D/F#
And maybe get some longer and mask(?)
G A A4 D
And maybe get some longer and mask(?)
