Citizen Soldier - Scarecrow

Capo ♪ fret 2

Am G
i chained my ghost up in a basement
Dm F
six feet back behind my eyes..
Am
some nights i think
G
this house is gonna cave in
Dm F
rejection has me terrified..

Am G
now i hang from a wooden frame
Dm
it keeps the crows away
F
this is where i’m safe
Am G
made of straw and a funny face
Dm
turns out being fake
F
can be your saving grace

Reff :
Am C
you can’t kill me if i’m already dead..
G
buried alive
D
by the things that they said..
F
i killed myself but no one knows
G
you’re not talking to me
Em
you’re talking to a scarecrow..

Am C
who i am only put me through hell..
G D
i’m bulletproof when i’m somebody else..
F
i killed myself but no one knows
G
you’re not talking to me
Em
you’re talking to a scarecrow..

Am G
i hid my heart up in the attic
Dm F
stuck pieces deep inside these walls..
Am
for every time
G
i was ignored or called dramatic
Dm F
i’m only safe feeling nothing at all..

Am G
now i hang from a wooden frame
Dm
it keeps the crows away
F
better off insane
Am G
i cut the skin to make a brand new face
Dm
cause back when i was me
F
i lived to be replaced

Reff :

you can’t kill me if i’m already dead..

Am
secret suicide but no one can tell
G/B
cause i’m just terrified of being myself
Dm
the real me is inside
but no one can tell

cause disappearing hurts less
than asking for help
