My Skin

Em D
take a look at my body
C G
look at my hands
Am
there's so much here
D
that I don't understand

Em D
your face saving promises
C G
whispered like prayers
G
I don't need them
D
I don't need them

Em
I've been treated so wrong
G
I've been treated so long
Em D
as if I'm becoming untouchable


Em D
contempt loves the silence
C G
it thrives in the dark
Am
with fine winding tendrils
D
that strangle the heart

Em D
they say that promises
C G
sweeten the blow
G
but I don't need them
D
no, I don't need them

Em
I've been treated so wrong

G
I've been treated so long
Em D
as if I'm becoming untouchable

Em
I'm a slow dying flower
G
frost killing hour
Em
the sweet turning sour
D
and untouchable


o, I need
Em
the darkness
the sweetness
G
the sadness
the weakness
D
I need this

I need
Em
a lullaby
a kiss goodnight
G
angel sweet
love of my life
D
o, I need this

G D
do you remember the way
C G
that you touched me before
Am
all the trembling sweetness
D
I loved and adored?


Em G
your face saving promises
C G
whispered like prayers
G
I don't need them
D
no, I don't need them

o, I need
Em
the darkness
the sweetness
G
the sadness
the weakness
Em D
I need this

I need
Em
a lullaby
a kiss goodnight
G
the angel sweet
love of my life
Em D
I need this

Em
is it dark enough?
can you see me?
G Em
do you want me?
can you reach me?
Em D
or I'm leaving

Em
you better shut your mouth
hold your breath
G Em
kiss me now you'll catch my death
D
o, I mean it
