Skin O' My Teeth Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[A5][G5][F][A5]

[Verse 1]
I had [A5]wrists
don[Dm]ning slits
[A5]Flowing [Am]con [A5]stantly
My broken [Dm]body in a wreck
[A5]Wrapped [Am]around [A5]a tree
[Dm]A crosswalk hit and run
The [A5]finish line [Am]for [A5]me
People [Dm]clutter in the gutter
[A5]Take a look and see

[Verse 2]
[A5]No escapin[G5]g pain
[F]You belong [E5]to me[Dm]
[A5]Clinging on to [G5]life
By [F]the skin [E5]o' my [Dm]teeth

[Verse 3]
[A5]No escaping pa[G5]in
[F]You belong [E5]to me[Dm]
[A5]Clinging [G5]on to life
By [F]the skin o' [E5]my te[Dm]eth[D5]
[A5]My blood f[C5]lows

[Verse 4]
[Dm]through the streets
Deluge [C5]from the [A5]wounds
Empty [C5]jars [Dm]of sleeping pills
On the [Am]dresser in my [A5]room
My wet- [C5]brain [Dm]neighbor cranes
[C5]His neck to [A5]see
In time, [C5]the white l[Dm]ights, a train
[A5]Bearing [Am]down on [A5]me

[Verse 5]
[A5]No escaping pa[G5]in
[F]You belong [E5]to me[Dm]
[A5]Clinging [G5]on to life
By [F]the skin [E5]o' my [Dm]teeth

[Verse 6]
[A5]No escaping [G5]pain
[F]You belong [E5]to me[Dm]
[A5]Clinging onto [G5]life
By [F]the skin o' [E5]my te[Dm]eth[Eb5][Dm][C5]

I won't [C5]feel the

[Verse 7]
[Dm]hurt
I'm not [C5]trash any [A5]longer
That [C5]that doesn't [Dm]kill me
Only [C5]makes me [A5]stronger
I need [C5]a ride [Dm]to the morgue
That's [Am]what 911 is [A5]for
So tag [C5]my toe [Dm]and don't [A5]forget
Ooh, to close the drawer

[Verse 8]
[A5]No escaping pa[G5]in
[F]You belong [E]to [Dm]me
[A5]Clinging [G5]on to life
By [F]the skin [E]o' my [Dm]teeth

[A5]No escapin[G5]g pain
[F]You belong [E]to [Dm]me
[A5]Clinging on [G5]to life
By [F]the skin [E]o' my [Dm]teeth
