Verse 1
Em                  D
Look at my mouth, a thin painted line
Cadd9              D
Look at my limbs, bent up and bundled in twine
Em  D    Am    D
Forever, ever mine
Em               D
Form of a tree, shape of a child
  Cadd9              D
I wish I could cry, stuck in a permanent smile
Em  D    Am    D
Forever, ever mine

Chorus
Cadd9      D                  G
I know you must have loved me sometime
    Em7            Cadd9
But now I'm just a toy
            D                 Em911
I know you must have loved me sometime

Verse 2
First there was me, nothing but time
Till he came along, you told me you'd always be mine
Forever, ever mine
Look at his face, somewhat like mine
But look at his nose, you can always be sure that he's lying
Forever, ever mine

Chorus

Bridge
    Gm7            D2  Gm6/Bb  Cadd2  Gm
But now I'm just a toy who     needs  you
  Dadd9/F#  Gm6  Cadd9  G/B
A boy       to   be     who
Cadd9  G/B  Gm/Bb
Needs  to   be

Verse 3
Better than him, worthy of you
Given the chance that he had, I know what I'd do
Forever, ever mine
I call him liar, you call him son
If I could move, I'd set him on fire and I'd run
Forever

Chorus
I know you must have loved me sometime
But now I'm just a toy
I know you must have loved me sometime
    Gm7            A7sus  A7
But now I'm just a toy
