Beneath The Skin

Intro: Am

Am                   C           
Another day she sets foot in this
         F                     G
 prison, dreading what they'll say.
Am                      C
So much to give, but no one ever 
listens.
F                     G
She dreams of running away.
Am                       C       
Crippled by the way they make her
                   F          
 feel, she takes a look at her 
          G
wrists & turns to the blade.
Am                   C           
It's not a cry for attention if 
                 F             
she just wants to feel anything 
  G
other than the pain.
Am          C                 F 
Everyone deserves to be loved, 
                      G
but they make her hate everything 
she was sure of!
Am                   C
Every day feels like her against the
 world.
F            G
Now she's afraid she'll never be 
enough.

Am                   C           
No one knows all the weight that 
                   F
she holds when she feels alone.
        G
The memories, they haunt her.
Am                  C            
No one sees all the pain she 
        F
brings everywhere she goes.
                  G
She feels they'll never want her.

Am              C                
She dreams of a day when she 
          F              G
won't have to cry herself to sleep.

Am             C                 
Staring at the scars on her 
      F                         G
wrists she knows this is not who she
 wants to be.
Am                 C             
Another night all alone with her 
          F                        
thoughts, dwelling on the questions
      G
 that race through her head.
Am                         C     
Scared to sleep, scared to wake 
                      F         
up & face the day when she can't 
           G
forget the things that they said.

Am                   C           
No one knows all the weight that 
                   F
she holds when she feels alone.
        G
The memories, they haunt her.

        F

                  G
She feels they'll never want her.

Am        C                 F   
All she wants is someone to 
               G
notice; so sick of feeling 
invisible.
Am      C                   F
All she needs is someone to care.
                   G
If only they could see that she's 
incredible.
Am              C                
She dreams of a day when she 
          F              G
won't have to cry herself to sleep.
Am
Is our generation too blind to see 
true beauty lies beneath the skin?
               Am
So ignorant!
Am                     C         
Are they too cold, too numb to 
                 F                 
see the lifelong effects of the 
        G
pain they inflict?
