-INTRO-

Am riff 1
Em riff
F riff
G riff
Am riff 2


-VERSE-
             Am riff 1
God damn it, Amy
                  Em riff
We're not kids anymore
                    F riff             G riff
You can't just keep waltzing out of my life
                      Am riff 2
Leaving clothes on my bedrom floor

                    Am riff 1
Like nothing really matters
                  Em riff
Like pain doesn't hurt
                F riff        G riff
You should mean more to me by now
                          A riff 2    G
Than just heartbreak in a short skirt


-CHORUS-
                                                C
You know, you kind of remind me of scars on my arm
        F                 G
That I made when I was a kid 
                                C        F            G
With a disassembled disposable razor I stole from my Dad
                                                   C                    F          G
Back when I thought that suffering was something profound that weighed down wise heads
          Dm
Not just something to be avoided
           F                  Am riff 2
Something normal people dread


-VERSE-
             Am riff 1
God damn it, Amy
                     Em riff
Well, of course I've changed
             F riff                        G riff
With all the things that I've done and the places I've been
         Am riff 2
I'd be a machine if I had stayed the same

                           Am riff 1
You're still back where we started
                       Em riff
You haven't changed at all
             F riff                      G riff
Yeah, you're still trying to live like a kid
               Am riff 2          G
Like you could always have it all


-CHORUS-
                                                C
You know, you kind of remind me of scars on my arm
        F              G
That I hid as best I could
                                                   C          F             G
That I covered with ink, but in the right kind of light they still bleed through
                                                       C         F               G
Showing that there are some things that I just cannot change no matter what I do
                 Dm
These tell-tale signs of being used
        F                   Am riff 2
Being trapped inside of you

-BRIDGE-
G#
                     G(2)    A#
You're a beautiful butterfly
                 Dmaj7      
Burned with a branding iron
          Cadd9            Dsus2/C#
Onto my outsides, into my insides
     Dm(2)    G(2) G#
As a simple sign
                    G(2)   A#
To show off your ownership
                Dmaj7
Burnt into my naked skin
           Cadd9           Dsus2/C#
On to my outsides, into my insides

               Dm     G
It's not even love anymore
              C            F
It's just a stain upon my soul
            Dm                  G
It's on my skin and it's on my breath
          C                F
And I'm ashamed to get undressed
              Dm                    G
In front of strangers in case they see
               C                   F            D
The tell tale signs that you have left all over me
             G
God damn it, Amy

-OUTRO-
                                        C
You'll always remind me of scars on my arm
        F               G
That I know will never fade
                                                C        F    G
But it's not like it's something I think about each and every day
                                               C                 F           G
I just occasionally find myself scratching at them as if they'd ever go away
                 Dm
These tell-tale signs are here to stay
            F
And in the end, you know, that's okay
                  Dm
Because you will always be a part
       F                      G                   Am
Of my patched up, patchwork, taped up, tape deck heart
