Chords

[Intro] C Am Em F [Verse 1]
C
Last night I blew you a kiss

                       Am
I hope that you got it

Em
Underneath you I told you a lie

                        F
I hope that you bought it

C
Strangers touch me in my dreams if

           Am
I go to bed sober

                                                Em
When the edge of the curtains turn white

                          F
I'll know that it's over
[Chorus]
C                                  Am
And you see things for what they are

          Em                      F
And I see what they'll never be

C
And God can make mistakes like he

Am
Made an example of me

Em
And who could really love someone

                                F
Who's that fucking ugly
[Interlude] C Am Em F [Verse 2]
C
Leaving his cum in the upholstery

Am
Always picking it out like a bad memory

Em
They all say that it's fine 'cause they

F
Don't know the cycle like I do

C
You don't know what it's like tryna love while you heal

Am
And you don't get to preach if you don't know how it feels to have

Em
Every last inch of your body

                     F
Invaded like I do
[Bridge]
C
Woke up a saint, fell asleep a martyr

Am
Would you do the same things to your own daughter?

Em
Still I tried saying "I love you"

                                     F
Through a mouthful of dirt

C
Keep parts of dead things in the freezer outside

Am
Wondering if they suffered when they were alive

Em
Does God make delicate things just

                              F
To watch them get hurt?
[Chorus]
C                                  Am
And you see things for what they are

       Em                    F
And I see what they'll never be

C
God can make mistakes like he

Am
Made an example of me

Em
And who could really love someone

                              F
Who's that fucking ugly
[Outro]
C                               Am
That gold cross swings only for me

Em                                      F
In Jesus's name it kills me slowly

C                               Am
That gold cross swings only for me

Em                                      F
In Jesus's name it kills me slowly
