Missy Higgins – Scar (Guitar)

   G                 D
He left a card and a bar of soap with

 Em                  C
scrubbing brush next to a note,

           G          D               Em   C
That said "use these down to your bones".

      G                  D
And before I knew I had shiny skin and

   Em               C
it felt easy being clean like him,

           G               D             Em   C
I thought "this one knows better than I do"

Am                    G                D
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle

Am                        C
He tried to cut me so I'd fit

     D                    G
And doesn't that sound familiar?

                      D
Doesn't that hit too close to home?

                       Em                            C
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone?

D                      G                            D
And doesn't it feel peculiar that everyone wants a little more.

               Em                      C
So that I do remember to never go that far,

           D               G      D    Em   C   }x2
Could you leave me with a scar ah-ah?

       G                    D
So the next one came with a bag of treats,

     Em                    C
She smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea

    G                    D            Em   C
She told me don't, trust them trust me.

         G                     D
Then she pulled at my stitches one by one,

Em                    C
Looked at my insides clicking her tongue,

          G              D                 Em   C
And said "This will all have to come undone".

Am                    G                D
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle,

Am                           C
She tried to blunt me so I'd fit.

     D                    G
And doesn't that sound familiar?

                      D
Doesn't that hit too close to home?

                       Em
Doesn't that make you shiver;

                           C
the way things could have gone?

D                      G
And doesn't it feel peculiar,

                       D
that everyone wants a little more?

                Em                      C
So that I do remember to never go that far,

           D                Am   C   G   D
Could you leave me with a scar?

           G
I think I realized just in time,

          D
about my old self was hard to find.

         Em                                   C
You can bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine.

           G
'Cos I'm a little bit tired of fearing that

            D
I'll be the bad fruit nobody buys,

Em                                        C
Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?

     D                    G
And doesn't that sound familiar?

                      D
Doesn't that hit too close to home?

                       Em                            C
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone?

     D                  G                            D
And doesn't it feel peculiar that everyone wants a little more.

               Em                      C
So that I do remember to never go that far,

                           G      D
Could you leave me with a scar ah-ah?

Em                          C           G    D
  could you leave me with a scar? ah-ah-ah.

Em                           C    G
  could you leave me with a scar
