Title: Beneath The Skin (Acoustic) Artist: Memphis May Fire These chords are developed to work for this acoustic version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnhweH1PoGM You can watch this to develop a strum pattern. It helps if you tap your foot to the bass drum. This is not meant to be an exact match to the song. It was created because the song did not exist yet on UG. Please make changes and comment with your way of playing. It also sounds great if you pick apart the chords. Have fun with it! ****At the end of some lines, it sounds great it you throw in an open strum. CAPO 1 [Intro] Am [Verse 1]

^AmAnother day she sets ^Cfoot in this prison, ^Fdreading what they'll ^Gsay. ^AmSo much to give, but no ^Cone ever listens. ^FShe dreams of running ^Gaway. ^AmCrippled by the way they ^Cmake her feel, she takes a ^Flook at her wrists & ^Gturns to the blade. ^AmIt's not a cry for at^Ctention if she just wants to ^Ffeel anything ot^Gher than the pain. ^AmEveryone des^Cerves to be loved,^F but they make her hate ^Geverything she was sure of! ^AmEvery day feels like ^Cher against the world. ^FNow she's afr^Gaid she'll never be enough.

[Chorus]

^AmNo one knows all the ^Cweight that she holds when she ^Ffeels alone. The memo^Gries, they haunt her. ^AmNo one sees all the ^Cpain she brings every^Fwhere she goes. She feels they'll ^Gnever want her.

[Verse 2]

^AmShe dreams of a ^Cday when she won't have to ^Fcry herself to ^Gsleep. ^AmStaring at the ^Cscars on her wrists she ^Fknows this is not who she ^Gwants to be. ^AmAnother night all a^Clone with her thoughts, ^Fdwelling on the questions that ^Grace through her head. ^AmScared to sleep, scared to ^Cwake up & face the day when ^Fshe can't forget the ^Gthings that they said.

[Chorus 2]

^AmAll she wa^Cnts is someone to ^Fnotice; so sick of ^Gfeeling invisible. ^AmAll she ^Cneeds is someone to ^Fcare. If only they could ^Gsee that she's incredible. ^AmShe dreams of a ^Cday when she won't have to ^Fcry herself to ^Gsleep. ^AmIs our generation too blind to see true beauty lies beneath the skin? So ignorant! ^Am ^AmAre they too cold, too ^Cnumb to see the lifelong ef^Ffects of the pain they inf^Glict? ^AmIs our generation ^Ctoo blind to see true ^Fbeauty lies beneath the ^Gskin?

[Chorus]

^AmNo one knows all the ^Cweight that she holds when she ^Ffeels alone. ^G ^AmNo one sees all the ^Cpain she brings every^Fwhere she goes. ^G ^AmNo one knows all the ^Cweight that she holds when she ^Ffeels alone. The memo^Gries, they haunt her.

^AmNo one sees all the ^Cpain she brings every^Fwhere she goes. She feels they'll ^Gnever want her. ^AmAll she wa^Cnts is someone to ^Fnotice; so sick of ^Gfeeling invisible. ^AmAll she ^Cneeds is someone to ^Fcare. If only they could ^Gsee that she's incredible. ^AmShe dreams of a ^Cday when she won't have to ^Fcry herself to ^Gsleep. ^AmStaring at the ^Cscars on her wrists she ^Fknows this is not who she ^Gwants to be.
