[Bm] This is the zone, I'm too [G] scared to hide
[Bm]
It's all about you, I [G] need you tonight
Oh there you were, [G#] heart made of glass
[Em] Such a little thing, shot up to your [B] back
I was [N] a bit the beast, say it's right
That's [E] why you've [C] got, got, got, [B] got
I [Bm] never blew you [G] in, didn't let it [A] show
Didn't want the [Em] others to ever have to [Bm] know
That you were getting [G] hooked on, up, up, up
[A] And all you had to [G] do was cut, cut, cut
You called a [A] special place for [Bm] your pain
[G] So it came [A] back to hurt you [Bm] every night
[G] You closed your [A] eyes and wasted [Bm] all the pain
[G] Until you just [A] got bit under [Bm] the knife
You knew the [G] deal, no one gives a [A] damn
Some needy kid saw the [Em] story in [Bm] hand
Keep your secrets [G] covered up, up, [A] up
We don't need [Em] another, not another
But [G] you couldn't hide, a heart made of [A] glass
Together [Em] with all the strength you [Bm] had
You were finally [G] fed up, up, up, [A] up
Funny how you're [E] screaming, [G] not, not, not
You called a [A] special place for [Bm] your pain
[G] So it came [A] back to hurt you [Bm] every night
[G] You closed your [A] eyes and wasted [Bm] all the pain
[G] Until you just got bit [Bm] under the knife
[G] [A]
[Em] Listen, [Bm] I know [G] it's simplified from the [A] other side
It's easy to [Em] gloss over all the messy [Bm] reasons why
And it's [G] easy to forget where you've [A] been
I guess that's what the [Em] scars are for, huh?
[Bm] When we were fifteen, [G] we wouldn't dare let that shit [A] be seen
But now it [Em] seems mutilation's gone [Bm] mainstreet
I see you at [G] my shows, scarred up from head [A] to toe
Like there's no [Em] point even trying not to [Bm] let it show
Cause we all [G] know evil kids like to hurt [A] themselves
Too many [Em] feelings and not enough self [Bm]-control
And I mean, does [G] this mess with any of the [A] rest of ya?
It's an [Em] epidemic of recall, think, or [Bm] question
It bothers me, our [G] scars are currency by which we're [A] measured
Like, let the record [Em] show, let us let the new hell [Bm] together
Cutters and [G] burners and unerubable [A] mentions
Posers who still cut themselves off by the [G] attention
I don't care your [A] intention, I just want you to [Bm] know
My self-hate grid never took me where I want [G] to be
End of the day, [A] you know I still had to fight
[Bm] That I can pick at the pay, but I can't cut it away
[G] And you know what else I can do [A] is give you ten good reasons not [Bm] to
I've racked my brain for clever sayings of all the things you [G] want to do
But you know, I think [A] if there was something I could say
[Bm] They'd have floated on a brochure and sent you on your [C#] way
So I'll keep doing what I always do
Drag my heart [N] to the piano and make it sing for you
I'll keep doing what I always do
Drag my heart to the piano and let it sing for [Bm] you
[G] [A]
[Em] [Bm] [G] [A]
[Em] [Bm] [G] [A]
