you’re as sharp as a knife and you fit like a glove
Am
that is no way to live that is no way to love
F Am
full of fear in your skin and the weakness in giving in
F
stabbed in the back but you feel no pain
Am
push the heaviest doors that you can’t open
F Am
yeah they tied me up and my body lies still , again

F
you’re as bright as the sun and as bold as the moon
Am
i don’t know when you’ll break but it’s gonna be soon
F Am
if my will caves in , i’ll be in teh same boat as you

F
i’ve got the salt skin
Am
running to where he is
F
never going to give in
E
even with the strength
F
he’s stealing salt skin
Am F E
telling me i’m winning wars they created just to understand . . .
F – Am
“the meaning of”

hands on strings and my mouth open
find the perfect words that i’ve not spoken
and i won’t tell the truth unless you want me to

for all of the times that i lost my head
when it rolled to the floor and i found it again
but when it came back ,
i didn’t know my own name

i’ve got the salt skin
running to where he is
never going to give in
even with the strength
he’s stealing salt skin
telling me i’m winning wars they created just to understand . . .
“the meaning of”

F – A

neer going to give in
even with the strength

telling me i’m winning wars they created just to understand . . .
