[Ab]
[Ebm] Why do I [Db] deserve a science [Ab] to feel better [Ebm] about it?
[Eb] [Ebm] [Eb] With a loss of [Db] all smuggle [Ab] I denied that I
[Ebm] tried to be a basket [Db] case
I did [Ab] not surprise [Ebm] you
[Eb] Trying to find a signal [Db] fire
Let me [Ab] know if I should
[Ebm] [Gb] You, amplified in [Db] the sound
Justified in [Ab] the way you make me [Ebm] breathe
[Eb] Magnified in [Db] the sound
[Ab] Anatomically [Ebm] through
[Gb] The year [Ab] you're me
[Ebm] Why [Db]
[Ab] [Ebm]
[Db]
[Ab] [Ebm]
do I desire [Db] the space?
I [Ab] was mourning after [Ebm] you
I was lost and lost my [Db] shape
There [Ab] was nothing I could [Ebm] do
I don't want to waste [Db] away
If you [Ab] was all I gave to [Ebm] you
Take me back and take [Db] my place
I [Ab] will rise right up for [Ebm] you
[Gb] You, amplified [Db] in the sound
Justified [Ab] in the way you make [Ebm] me breathe
Magnified [Db] in the sound
[Ab] Anatomically [Ebm] through
The [Gb] year [Ab] you're me
[Ebm] [Eb] Follow all of your ways [Ab] to me You're asking
[Db] You don't really need another one to tip me [Gb] down
I'll [Ebm] be finding [Eb] out something that you [Ab] had to live with
Darling, [Db] nobody's gonna tear you down [Gb] now
[Ebm] There is nothing you keep, [Db] there is only your [Eb] reflection
[Ebm] There [Db]
[Ab] [Eb]
[Ebm] [Db]
[Ab] [Ebm]
was nothing you fought and you [Db] tossed
There is greed you know I cannot [Ab] doubt
Because you are more bad than this
But I don't know [Eb] how we got here
Now it's something your father had brought [Db] me
But he has not taken to [Ab] me
You don't know any better but you are [Eb] a
Girl,
[Ebm] girl, you are a girl [Db] of chastity
There is nothing we thought of missing [Ab] out on
You taught me not to see but to stop [Ebm] and forget
You've let me watch you as close as a [Db] mirror
You've let me hold you above all the [Ab] mystery
You've turned me on, turned my heart to [Eb] fire
I'm not what you think
