[Verse 1]
Am G Am
I came clean and there you went
G C G Am
Stitching up every single seam I split
Am G Am
You wanna heal me, wanna trace the scars
G C G Am
Gonna light a flame for all the unsaved girls
Am G Am
Black tie on the floor
G C G Am
Paper-thin dress on a desk chair
Am G Am
Match wits, march you home
G C G Am
Cigarette breath sugar-spun voice
[Chorus]
C Am G Am
You can pull me aside, hold me like a wounded bird
C Am G Am
But I am no prize, I am not harmless
[Verse 2]
Am G Am
We charmed the light into doing our work
G C G Am
But it was the dark we called beautiful
Am G Am
I'll teach you to cry in a crowded room
G C G Am
I'll teach you how to talk 'till your teeth come loose
[Chorus]
C Am G Am
You can pull me aside, hold me like a wounded bird
C Am G Am
But I am no prize, I am not harmless
C x4 Am x4
F
Tell me, tell me, tell me
F C
Would it make you feel better now
F
If you tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
F C
Tell me I'm hysterical?
[Verse 3]
Am G Am
Match wits, bury my will
G C G Am
Time will knock you off quick, time will take you out
Am G Am
And I'll be the thief you forgot to chase
G C G Am
The bramble sprung back in the hero's face
[Chorus]
C Am G Am
You can pull me aside, and I'll whisper my apologies
C Am G Am
But I am no prize, I am not harmless
