McCafferty – Floorboards (Guitar)

A
Your hands are weak, I thought that they were strong

C#m
Your mouth tastes like the way I thought it'd taste

F#m
Like smoke

E
And your hair is really long, I like it really long

A
So I can lie to both my mom and dad

C#m
And say that I am younger than I am

E
And the doctors say I'm fine

A
But I will be a mom in nine more months

C#m
I'll never be a mom

F#m
I'll never be that strong

E
I'll always be this weak

A
At least, I think I'll be

E
"I kicked, and cried, and screamed, until I couldn't breathe

A
I threw myself down stairs like twice a week

C#m
I think I bled until it was all gone"

E
He said "Thank me when you're older

A
And I will write all of these songs for you

C#m
You can bury me in pieces

F#m
Underneath the floorboards in your room

E
And the story just gets darker

A
Screaming down hallways you always do

C#m
Saying, "Jesus, please forgive me

F#m
But I need this body more than you."

E
Woah, woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

A
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

C#m
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

F#m
(It's not all gone)

E
And I never said that did was easier than done

A
At dawn, my ribs are spilling out my back

C#m
My spine, my spine, is coming out my mouth

F#m
And I cannot breathe

E
And I will break, and break, and break, and break, and break again

A
I'll glue myself back up with all my friends

C#m
I'll lock myself inside of my room, writing songs like these

E
"I kicked, and cried, and screamed, until I couldn't breathe

A
I threw myself down stairs like twice a week

C#m                            
I think I bled until it was all gone"

E
He said "Thank me when you're older

A
And I will write all of these songs for you

C#m
You can bury me in pieces

F#m
Underneath the floorboards in your room

E
And the story just gets darker

A
Screaming down hallways you always do

C#m
Saying, "Jesus, please forgive me

F#m
But I need this body more than you."

E
Woah, woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

(My God)
A
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

C#m
Woah-oh, woah-oh, woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

F#m
And it's not all gone
