Tom: G
C C
My skin was steel, you made it rust
C G
And I just can't drink this off
C G
Hoping that it gets me through today
C G
Carved into my skin, I'm just a fragile little kid
C
I've been branded by this
G
My self-portrait lacks innocence
[Chorus]
Em
You keep saying that I matter
G
But it doesn't make me feel anything
Em
Just stop saying that there's next year
G
'Cause I don't think I'll make it past today
[Verse 2]
C
I was holding my own
G
But then your fingers traced the cracks in my bones
C
You said, "Just open up, kid
G
Then you can make yourself whole again"
[Chorus]
Em
You keep saying that I matter
G
But it doesn't make me feel anything
Em
Just stop saying that there's next year
G
'Cause I don't think I'll make it past today
[Bridge]
Em D C
It should have been me
Em D C
Laid out on the concrete
Em D C
I have to leave this body
Em D C
Please, just remember me
[Chorus]
Em
You keep saying that I matter
G
But it doesn't make me feel anything
Em
Just stop saying that there's next year
G
'Cause I don't think I'll make it past today
[Outro]
C G
My skin was steel, but now its rust
C G
I'm giving in, I'm fucking crushed
C G
You just couldn't even care at all
C
But maybe I'll get over this
G
And maybe I'll grow up from it
C G
But all I keep thinking is it should have been me
C G
It should've been me
