Chorus 1

So save your scissors

For someone else's skin

My surface is so tough

I don't think the blade will dig in

Save your strength

Save your wasted time

There's no way

That I want you to be left behind

Interlude 1

Go on and save your scissors

Save your scissors

Verse 2
G6 
So why  (G6) 
Em7 
does it always  (E minor7) seem
G6 
That every  (G6) time I turn around
Em7 
Somebody falls  (E minor7) in love with me
G6 
Em7 
This  (G6) has never been my sole intention  (E minor7) 
G6 
And I  (G6) have never claimed
Em7 
To have patents on such  (E minor7) inventions

Bridge 1
Cmaj7 
There  (C minoraj7) is something
Em7 
That I must  (E minor7) confess
G6 
To you tonight  (G6) 
Am11 
To you tonight  (A minor11) 
Cmaj7 
And that  (C minoraj7) is
Em7 
I expect nothing  (E minor7) less

From you tonight  (G6) 
Am11 
From you tonight  (A minor11)
