G
Bm
G
When we were 15 we wouldn't
dare let that shit be seen
A
But now it seems
Em
mutalation's gone mainstream
Bm
I see you at my shows,
G
scarred up from head to toe
A
Like there's no point even

trying not to let it show

emo kids like to hurt themselves
A
Too many feelings and
Em
not enough self control
Bm
And I mean, does this mess
G
any of the rest of you
A
Em
It's an epidemic and we're cool with it,
don't question it
Bm
But it bothers me,
G
our scars are currency by which we're measured
A
Like let the record show who let it
Em
slip and who held it together
Bm
Cutters and burners and

honorable mentions
A
Posers who still cut themselves
up for the attention
Bm
I don't
Verse 7
G
care your intentions,
A
I just want you to know
Bm
My self-hatred never never took
me where I wanted to go
G
And at the end of the day,
A
you know I still had to face
Bm
That I can pick at the pain,
but can't cut it away
G
And you know what else I can't do is
A
give you ten good reasons not to
Bm
I've racked my brain for clever sayings
of all the things you ought to do
G
But you know,
A
I think if there was something I could say
Bm
They'd have thrown it on a brochure-
and sent you on your way
G
So I'll keep doing what I always do: drag my
Bm
heart to the piano and make it sing for you
A

I'll keep doing what I always do: drag my heart to the piano and let it sing
