D                   G 
 I feel warm, I feel sick, 
          D                                  G 
You know, I think I've grown accustomed to feeling like this, 
                   Bm7 
And Id say its exhausting, but thats not enough, 
     Asus4      G 
To describe this gaping hole in my gut, 
    D 
And thats messed up, I know Im messed up. 
 

 
D                       G 
I feel my bones, I hear them crack, 
G       D                                    G 
When my skeleton mocks me, thats how I know that Im trapped, 
              Bm7                Asus4 
Sanctioned to patch up this skin thats been burned, 
A              G                                  D 
Stuck here for life, theres no crueler curse than that. 
 

 
D    A   D    Asus4 
Oooh ooh ooh  oooh, 
 Bm                   G 
Ive been angry, and Ive been sad, 
        D                   Asus4      A 
Now Im chasing happy, by ignoring the bad, 
      Bm7                          G 
And I hate this body, for the memory it has, 
          D 
It stores all of the torment, seeps into my bones, 
        Asus4 
Yeah my skeleton, my skeleton mocks me like that. 
 

 
D                                          G 
 A thought leaves my mouth, the wind blows it back, 
     D                                                    G 
It rebounds in my throat till I choke, Im still under attack, 
      Bm7 
And I blame the world for the most part, 
Asus4  G 
Am  I  a bitter woman at heart? 
              D 
Or is it just hard? 
 Dmaj7 
(Oh its so hard). 
 

 
     Bm                    Asus4 G 
When Ive done angry, when I . . .ve done sad, 
              D                Asus4      A 
Ive tried chasing happy, by ignoring the bad, 
         Bm7                G 
I punish this body, for the memory it has, 
          D 
It stores all of the torment, seeps into my bones, 
        Asus4       N.C. 
Yeah my skeleton, my skeleton mocks me like that. 
 

Outro 
           Bm                            G 
Ill still feel so angry, Ill still welcome the sad, 
            D                 Asus4        A 
But I wont find happy if Im ruled by the past, 
                  Bm                       G 
So Ill work with this body and the memory it has, 
          D 
It stores all of the torment, no I cant ignore it, 
      Asus4 
Or my skeleton, my skeleton will just fall apart.
