Scar Tissue

[Refrão]
 
G 
Scar Tissue numbing up my hands 
      F                          C 
I can make myself believe that nobody understands 
         G 
That I've got issues fucking up my plans 
        F 
Hide myself between the lines 
       C 
Such a delicate dance 
G 
I keep on hoping that I'll grow out of it 
F                 C 
Then I remember I'm done developing 
G 
Don't mind the tears that have swelled in my eyes 
        F                     C 
If you ask me right now I'd still say I was fine 
 


[Verso 1]
 
G 
Bite my tongue till I'm tasting blood 
        F                    C 
It's not fun, it's just a system 
G 
Knuckles crack and I fake a laugh 
        F                  C 
For that fickle love's attention 
G 
Ring the bell and I jump back in 
F                      C 
I'll see it through to my very end 
G 
Ice bath ready when I leave the ring 
F                       C 
Nice and steady in the cold I sink 
 


[Verso 2]
 
G 
Why is it easy to be so deceiving 
F 
Can they tell I'm misleading 
   C 
The ways they perceive me 
G 
Deliberate attempts to make a little more sense 
           F 
Of what it was that I meant 
        C 
Interpreted as defense 
G 
Hit hard and ask about the bruise 
F                         C 
Looks so out of place on a pretty girl like you 
G 
Low bar but really what's the use 
F 
Collect the reddest flags 
  C 
To tie into a noose 
G 
Say that I'm out 
                 D 
And then pull me back in

[Ponte]
 
N.C. 
Rainy days in your t-shirt 
Coffee after noon 
G 
Spent so long beneath the dirt 
Now we get to bloom 
F 
Hazards through the windows 
Symbolize the futile plan 
G 
Sometimes I don't feel real 
But then you take my hand 
F 
Half naked in your yard 
Cursing our aversive stars 
G 
Say they made us what we are 

Blame can't be passed that far 
F 
It's like I'm running after something 
                        G 
But it doesn't beat my pace 
I don't think that it's a race 
I think I'm in it for the chase 
F 
I wanna be known and loved 
Don't wanna be seen or touched 
G 
Do you think I'm not enough? 
Or have I become too much? 
F 
Pound puppy picking at your food 
Speak up they call it attitude 
G 
Impress and it makes em' act a fool 
Praise the ways that you're breaking all their rules 
F 
Fog so thick that I can't think 
Say I've got deficiencies 
G 
So I take what they give me 
Like it might just tame the beast

F 
 Scar tissue numbing up my hands 
C 
Make believe that nobody understands 
G 
I've got issues fucking up my plans 
Hide behind such a delicate dance 
F 
I might be losing it 
C 
Healthier to admit 
G 
Sometimes I see myself 
I think she's someone else
