Scar

guitar chords lyrics

Missy Higgins

G D
He left a card and a bar of soap with
Em C
scrubbing brush next to a note,
G D Em C
That said "use these down to your bones".
G D
And before I knew I had shiny skin and
Em C
it felt easy being clean like him,

G D Em C
I thought "this one knows better than I do"

Am C
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle
Am C
He tried to cut me so I'd fit

D G
And doesn't that sound familiar?
D
Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Em C
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone?
G D
And doesn't it feel peculiar that everyone wants a little more.
Em C
So that I do remember to never go that far,
G D Em C }x2
Could you leave me with a scar ah-ah?

G D
So the next one came with a bag of treats,
Em C
She smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea
G D Em C
She told me don't, trust them trust me.
G D
Then she pulled at my stitches one by one,
Em C
Looked at my insides clicking her tongue,
G D Em C
And said "This will all have to come undone".

Am C
A triangle trying to squeeze through a circle,
Am C
She tried to blunt me so I'd fit.

D G
And doesn't that sound familiar?
D
Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Em
Doesn't that make you shiver;
C
the way things could have gone?
G
And doesn't it feel peculiar,
D
that everyone wants a little more?
Em C
So that I do remember to never go that far,
Am C G D }x2
Could you leave me with a scar?

G
I think I realized just in time,
D
about my old self was hard to find.
Em C
You can bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine.
G
'Cos I'm a little bit tired of fearing that
D
I'll be the bad fruit nobody buys,
Em C
Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?

G
And doesn't that sound familiar?
D
Doesn't that hit too close to home?
Em C
Doesn't that make you shiver; the way things could've gone?
G D
And doesn't it feel peculiar that everyone wants a little more.
Em C
So that I do remember to never go that far,
G D
Could you leave me with a scar ah-ah?
Em C G D
could you leave me with a scar? ah-ah-ah.
Em C G
could you leave me with a scar
