Chords
This is my best effort at this, the bass riff is played during the verses, but it sounds okay on the guitar,
Words are correct I think, chords sound okay to me but may not be exactly right. Please rate/comment

I eat to much to die and not enough to stay alive, I'm sitting in the middle, waitingVERSE 1:
NC
Days since I last pissed, cheeks sunken and despaired
So gorgeous sunk to six stone, lose my only remaining home
See my third rib appear, a week later all my flesh disappears
Stretching taut, cling film on bone, I'm getting better
Am Dm Karen says I've reached my target weight G C Kate and Emma and Kristin know it's fake, problem is diet's not a big enough word B Em I wanna be so skinny that I rot from view
CHORUS:
D#5 D5 C5 D5 D#5 D5 C5 D5 I, I, I, I, I want to walk in the snow and not leave a footprint D#5 D5 C5 D5 D#5 D5 C5 D5 I, I, I, I, I want to walk in the snow and not soil its purity
VERSE 2:
NC
Stomach collapsed at five, lift up my skirt, my sex is gone
Naked and lovely, I'm five stone two, may I bud and never flower
My vision's getting blurred but I can see my ribs and I feel fine
My hands are trembling stalks and I can feel my breasts are sinking
Am Dm Mother trys to choke me with roast beef G C And sits savouring her sole ryvita, that's the way you're built my father said B Em But I can change, my cocoon shedding
CHORUS:

ENDING:
C F G Kate and Kristin and Kit Kat, all things I like looking at C F G Am Too weak to fuss, too weak to die, choice is skeletal in everybody's life C F G I choose my choice, I starve to frenzy, hunger soon passes and sickness soon tires C F G Am Legs bend, stockinged I am Twiggy and I don't mind the horror that surrounds me C F G Self worth scatters, self esteem's a bore, I long since moved to a higher plateau C F G Am This discipline's so rare so please applaud, just look at the fat scum who pamper me so C F G Yeah four stone seven, an epilogue of youth, such beautiful dignity in self-abuse C F G Am I've finally come to understand life through staring blankly at my navel
