[ intro ]
Am – Em – F – G – Am
[ verse 1 ]
Am Em
god dammit amy , we’re not kids anymore .
F G
you can’t just keep waltzing out of my life ,
Am
leaving clothes on my bedroom floor .
Am Em
like nothing really matters , like pain doesn’t hurt .
F G Am
you should be more to me by now than just heartbreak in a short skirt .
[ chorus 1 ]
G C F G
you kind of remind me of scars on my arms that i made when i was a kid ,
C F G
with a disassembled disposable razor i stole from my dad ,
C
when i though that suffering was something profound ,
F G
that weighed down on wise heads ,
Dm F Am
and not just something to be avoided , something normal people dread .
[ verse 2 ]
Am Em
god dammit amy , well of course i’ve changed .
F G
with all the things that i’ve done and the places i’ve been
Am
i’d be a machine if i had stayed the same .
Am Em
but you’re still back where we started , you haven’t changed at all .
F G Am
you’re still trying to live like a kid , like you can always have it all .
[ chorus 2 ]
G C F G
you know you kind of remind me of scars on my arms that i hid as best i could ,
C F G
that i covered with ink , but in the right kind of light they still bleed through ,
C F G
showing that there are some things i just can’t change no matter what i do :
Dm
the tell tale signs of being used ,
F Am
of being trapped inside of you .

you’re a beautiful butterfly burned with a browning iron ,
onto my outsides into my insides as a simple sign :
to show off your ownership . burned into my naked skin ,
onto my outsides into my insides .
Dm G C F
it’s not even love any more , it’s just a claim upon my soul .
Dm G C F
it stains my skin , yeah it’s on my breath , and i’m ashamed to get undressed ,
Dm G C F D
in front of strangers in case they see the tell tale signs you have left all over me .
[ chorus 3 ]
G C F G
god dammit amy . you’ll always remind me of scars on my arms that i know will never fade .
C F G
and it’s not like it’s something i think about each and every day :
C F G
i just occasionally catch myself scratching at them , as if they’d ever go away .
Dm F
but these tell tale signs are here to stay , and in the end you know that’s ok .
Dm F G Am
you will always be a part of my patched – up patchwork , taped – up tape deck heart .
