Broken Skin

[Verse 1]
             Eb      Bb
It’s not surprising
              Eb                Bb
That you have all those wounds
              Eb         Bb
They're advertising
                 Eb                
The things that you've been through
  Bb

           Eb      Bb
It's tantalizing
          Eb       Bb
To psychoanalyze
               Eb     Bb
We're all downsizing
            Eb
What we do with our lives

[Chorus 1]
             F          Bb
There's not enough money
   Eb          Bb
In this whole world
   F          Bb      Eb
To pay for a break or two
        F           Bb         Eb
There's not enough armor in a 
      Bb
suit of mail
     F       Bb         Eb      Bb
Your broken skin's not black or blue
     F       Bb       Eb
But damaged just the same
       F        Bb        Eb      
And who does not feel fractured 
 Bb
too
     Eb      Bb
Like broken skin
Eb      Bb
Broken skin

[Verse 2]
              Eb      Bb
The sun's not rising
           Eb               Bb
Upon your burned out shell
           Eb     Bb
Still exercising
               Eb             Bb
The things you don't do well
               Eb      Bb
It's not enterprising
           Eb             Bb
To grapple with the past
                Eb     Bb
You're past surmising
              Eb
How long the past can last

[Chorus 2]
         F          Bb
There's not enough trees
        Eb      Bb
You can hide behind
F           Bb       Eb
Not enough walls to climb
F          Bb            Eb 
Not enough cracks in the paving 
     Bb
stones
     F      Bb         Eb       Bb
Your broken skin's not black or blue
    F       Bb       Eb
But damaged just the same
    F        Bb       Eb         Bb
And who does not feel fractured too
     Eb      Bb
Like broken skin
Eb      Bb
Broken Skin
