[Verse]
G            C    Em            
If I aim for you, then I aim to 
D
please
          G       C      Em      
Until you look at me and I forget
    D
 to breathe
G               C           Em  
Lessons will be learned and 
            D
stories will be told
G               C            Em 
He can give you silver but I can
          D
 give you gold

[Verse]
G                  C              
So take a picture off the shelf, I
 Em                   D
 hope it's me and not myself
         G                 C   
I can't take these bruises to my 
         Em  D
health anymore
G                   C            
Strike a match I'll light the 
          Em            D
wick, you're beautiful I'm feeling 
sick
      G                     C     
Don't think I'll stand here taking
      Em  D
 this anymore

[Chorus]
     G       C              Em   
So you're my excuse for the 
     D
taking of refuge
   G            C             Em 
On stage I'm an idol, take me off
         D
 and I'm see-through
x2

[Verse]
G            C                Em
I can be the target if you'll be
            D
 the one to shoot
G          C                Em  
Nobody can silence me, I'll 
      D
always be bullet-proof
        G               C         
I'm too old for lessons now, I've 
Em           D
heard it all before
       G                C         
You've gotten less than nothing, I
            Em            D
 could have given so much more

[Verse]
G               C              
Pictures fading never merrier, 
Em             D
living life in shades of sepia
G                 C             Em D
Bruises make this burden heavier
G                   C            
Strike a match I'll light the 
          Em            D
wick, you're beautiful I'm feeling 
sick
      G                     C     
To think I'm still here taking 
        Em  D G C        Em  D
this after time, time after time

[Verse]
    G                C           
I'm living with this curse and I 
Em                 D
think it's getting worse
G                C               
Someone call the doctor 'cause 
   Em               D
I've already lost the nurse
    G          C        Em       
And how did we begin to make it 
        D
end this rough?
    G                C            
You say that I'm too good, it 
      Em          C
seems too good is not enough
         G               C         
And I'll have to set you free, not 
Em                C
sit and stare and wonder
    G           C                  
Not let another crooked girl start 
Em        D
taking me under

[Chorus/Outro]
     G       C              Em   
So you're my excuse for the 
     D
taking of refuge
   G            C             Em 
On stage I'm an idol, take me off
         D
 and I'm see-through
