Icon For Hire - Under the knife

^EmThis is the song I’m too scared to w^Drite ^EmBut some of you may need it t^Gonight

^EmOh there you were, h^Geart made of glass ^Emfragile little thing, s^Dhattered too fast ^Emtried to pick the pieces ^Gup up up ^Emand that’s the way you first got ^Dcut cut cut ^EmDevil drew you in, you ^Gdidn’t let it show ^Emdidn’t want the others to ^Dever have to know ^Emthat you were getting hooked on ^Gup up up ^Emand all you had to do was ^Dcut cut cut

You ^Gcarved a special ^Aplace for your ^Empain so ^Git came back to ^Ahurt you every ^Emnight you ^Gclosed your eyes and ^Awished it all ^Emaway ^Guntil you dis^Aappeared under the ^Emknife

^EmYou knew the deal, ^Gno one gives a damn just ^Emanother needy kid, sob ^Dstory in hand ^Emkeep your secrets covered ^Gup up up ^Emwe don’t need another ^Dcut cut cut ^EmBut you couldn’t hide a ^Gheart made of glass ^EmYou put yourself together with a^Dll the strength you had ^EmYou were finally fed ^Gup up up ^Emfinally had to scream e^Dnough –nough –nough

You ^Gcarved a special ^Aplace for your ^Empain so ^Git came back to ^Ahurt you every ^Emnight you ^Gclosed your eyes and ^Awished it all ^Emaway ^Guntil you dis^Aappeared under the ^Emknife

^EmListen- I know it’s simpli^Gfied from the other side ^Ait’s easy to gloss over ^B7all the messy reasons why ^Emand it’s easy to for^Gget where you’ve been I ^Aguess that’s what the scar^B7s are for, huh? When ^Emwe were 15 we wouldn’t ^Gdare let that shit be seen ^Abut now it seems muta^B7lation’s gone mainstream ^EmI see you at my shows, ^Gscarred up from head to toe ^Alike there’s no point even ^B7trying not to let it show ^EmCause we all know, emo k^Gids like to hurt themselves ^Atoo many feelings and ^B7not enough self control ^Emand I mean, does this mess ^Gany of the rest of you ^Ait’s an epidemic and we’re ^B7cool with it, don’t question it But it ^Embothers me, our scars are curren^Gcy by which we’re measured like l^Aet the record show who let it ^B7slip and who held it together ^Emcutters and burners and ^Ghonorable mentions ^Aposers who still cut themselves^F#m up for the attention ^GI don’t care your intentions, I ^Ajust want you to know my ^Emself-hatred never took me where I wanted to go ^Gand at the end of the day, you know I ^Astill had to face that I can ^Empick at the pain, but can’t cut it away and you know what ^Gelse I can’t do is give you ^Aten good reasons not to I’ve ^Emracked my brain for clever sayings of all the things you ought to do ^GBut you know, I think if there was s^Aomething I could say They’d have ^Emthrown it on a brochure- and sent you on your way

You ^Gcarved a special ^Aplace for your ^Empain so ^Git came back to ^Ahurt you every ^Emnight you ^Gclosed your eyes and ^Awished it all ^Emaway ^Guntil you dis^Aappeared under the ^Emknife [Outro] G A EM (until fade)
