Standard tuning.


C                 G
He left a card a bar of soap

      Am                   F
And a scrubbing brush next to a note 

           C         G            Am        F
That said use these down to your bones 

    C                     G
And before i knew I had shiny skin 

         Am               F
And it felt easy being clean like him 

           C              G            Am      F
I thought this one knows better than I do 


pre-chorus:

 Dm                    F              G   
A triangle trying to squeeze thru a circle 

Dm                         F           
He tried to cut me so I'd fit

Chorus

G                      C
Doesnt that sound familiar 

                     G         
Doesnt that his too close to home 

                      Am
Doesnt that make you shiver 

                           F
The way things could have gone 

G                    C
Doesnt that feel peculiar 

                        G
That everyone wants a little more 

                    Am
And so that I do remember

                 F
To never go that far 

	    G	          C
Could you leave me with a scar


Verse 2


So the next one came with a bag of treats, 
she smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea
And she told me don't trust them, trust me
Then she pulled at my stitches one by one, 
Looked at my insides clicking her tongue 
And said "This will all have to come undone"

pre-chorus

A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
She tried to blunt me so I'd fit


Chorus 2  last line *chord change:

	    G	          *Dm
Could you leave me with a scar


Instrumental is a bit like this,' - '= one beat
 
Dm---F---C---G---Dm---F---(stop)


Bridge (No chords)                                             

I think I realized just in time

Although my old self was hard to find
                                              
You can bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine



(SINGLE NOTES ONLY)

            C                    
'Cos I'm a little bit tired of fearing that I'll be the 

B
Bad fruit nobody buys

A                                         F
Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?



The first half of the last chorus is just guitar, I like to play the chords like this:


C      0 3 2 0 1 0   

G6     X 2 0 0 3 0   (Instead of G)

C6     X 0 2 0 1 3   (Instead of Am)

F      X 3 3 2 1 1

Then the normal chords for the last part.
