My Skin by Natalie Merchant

        Fm         Cm
Take a look at my body

Look at my hands

There's so much here

That I don't understand

Your face saving promises

Contempt loves the silence

With fine winding tendrils

That strangle the heart

No, I don't need them

As if I'm becoming untouchable

I'm a slow dying flower

Frost killing hour

The sweet turning sour

And untouchable
