Doll Skin


Tom: Em

Em        C      B
I've been buried alive
            Em
By all this weight that I carry
C            B
(When will I get a break?)
Em    C                B
Now I think I've got a grip
        Em
On this nightmare trip
C            B
(When will l get a break?)

C              B
I know I'm not alone
                      Em
But I'm sick of being lonely
C               B
So I'll find my comfort here
      Em
In my mind

C                   B
(I'll learn to love myself!)


[Chorus]
            Em
In my empty house
              Bm
When no one's around me
    Cmaj7
The walls are bleeding memories
      G
And I can't breathe
    Em
I'm alone
         Bm
No one's around me
     Cmaj7
Just me, myself, and I
  G                           Em   C   B
I know I'm worth fighting for


[Verse 2]
Em        C        B
I've been broken inside
              Em
And you won't listen to my cries
C            B
(When will I get a break?)
Em           C       B
I am begging you for more
        Em
Trapped behind closed doors
C            B
(When will I get a break?)

C               B
But now I'm not alone
                  Em
And I'm no longer lonely
C               B
I have found my comfort here
      Em
In my mind

C                   G
(I'll learn to love myself)
C                   B
(I'll learn to love myself!)


[Chorus]
            Em
In my empty house
              Bm
When no one's around me
    Cmaj7
The walls are bleeding memories
      G
And I can't breathe
    Em
I'm alone
         Bm
No one's around me
     Cmaj7
Just me, myself, and I
  G
I know I'm worth fighting for


[Bridge]
Bm                D
Never alone long enough
Bm                 D
To see who I truly was
Bm
I ripped the bandage off the burn
       D
To see who you truly were
        Bm
There's venom in your words
    D
I'm not sure if you heard-

N.C.                         Em Bm G
I learned to love myself!


[Chorus]
            Em
In my empty house
              Bm
When no one's around me
    Cmaj7
The walls are bleeding memories
      G
And I can't breathe
    Em
I'm alone
         Bm
No one's around me
     Cmaj7
Just me, myself, and I
  G
I know I'm worth fighting for
Em          Bm
In my empty house
              G
When no one's around me
Em   Bm
I'm alone
       G
No one around me

                  Em
I know what I'm worth
