           G#
You're as sharp as a knife and you fit like a glove
        Cm
That is no way to live that is no way to love
        G#                                       Cm     D#
Full of fear in your skin and the weakness in giving in
 Fm
Stabbed in the back but you feel no pain
          Gm
Push the heaviest doors that you can't open
           G#                                 Cm  Gm
Yeah they tied me up and my body lies still, again

           G#
You're as bright as the sun and as bold as the moon
         Cm
I don't know when you'll break but it's gonna be soon
       G#                                     Cm    Gm
If my will caves in, I'll be in the same boat as you

Chorus:
             G#
I've got the salt skin
                 Cm
Running to where he is
               G#
Never going to give in
               Cm      D#
Even with the strength
               Fm
He's stealing salt skin
               D#
Telling me I'm winning wars
       Dm7-5               G
they created just to understand...
                 G#
 "the meaning of"

Hands on strings and my mouth open
Find the perfect words that I've not spoken
And I won't tell the truth, unless you want me to
For all of the time that I lost my head
When it rolled to the floor and I found it again
But when it came back
No, I didn't know my own name

Chorus - x3
