Am                 G          F           G            Am    G   F  G
There's dirt in my mouth from kissing who I should not dare
Am         G        F         G           Am  G   F  G
Mud coming out with every rip and every tear___

Oh, my guilty skin, like gasoline, is burning out a hole in me

My guilty heart, lies here in ruin, in ruin

[Verse]
Am     G         F           G    Am   G   F  G
Nobody knows me, no one will ever see
    Am         G          F           G           Am G   F  G
The distance between what is and what will never be____
  Am        F         G
A bird will break his wings
       Am         G       F
Like a heart will cut her strings
          Am    G  F        G       Am  G  F             G       Am
And there isn't anything to comfort me___ (Hold out your heart)

Oh, my guilty skin, like gasoline, is burning out a hole in me

My guilty heart, lies here in ruin, in ruin

[Outro]
  Am        F         G
A bird will break his wings
       Am         G       F
Like a heart will cut her strings
          Am    G  F        G       Am  G   F  G   Am  G
And there isn't anything to comfort me___
 F             G
