[A]
You painted [F#m] yourself [D] a [E] thousand [A] times [F#m] As if [D] you never [E] got [A] it right
You lay [F#m] awake [D] with a mirror [E] above your [A] bed Your [F#m] body was your [D] cage, [E] loneliness [A] your friend
They [F#m] say life [E] is a lion, [D] [F#m] love is [Bm] despair [F#m] Your heart never [E] stopped trying [D] when you [F#m] cut off [Bm] your hair
[F#m] A monkey on [E] your shoulder,
[D] [F#m] blood and [B] broken [Bm] bones [F#m] Your colors [E] were bolder [D] than the brightest [Bm] rainbow
Brightest [A] rainbow
She says if the [F#m] earth shatters [D] and we're [E] thrown to [A] the sea
Nothing [F#m] else matters, [D] just [E] homebound carry [A] me
If you're [F#m] unsure [D] of [E]
where [A] to go [F#m] Just ask somebody [D] where [E] is [A] Mexico
They [F#m] say life [E] is a lion, [D] love [Bm] is despair [F#m] Your heart never [E] stopped trying [D] when you [F#m] cut off [Bm] your hair
[F#m] A monkey on [E] your shoulder, [D] blood and [Bm] broken bones [F#m] Your colors [E] were bolder [D] than the brightest [Bm] rainbow
[E]
[A] Brightest rainbow
[F#m]
[D] [A]
[F#m] When
[D] [A]
you lived [F#m] you danced the pain [D] Your [A] heart it did burn
You said when I die [F#m] may it be [D] sweet [E] May I never [A] return
They [F#m] say life [A] is a lion, [D] love [E] is [Bm] despair
[B] [F#m] Your heart never [E] stopped trying [A] [D] when you cut off [Bm] your hair
[F#m] A monkey on [E] your shoulder,
