Biting keeps your words at bay
Eb7+
Tending to the sores that stay
Ab Eb7+
Happiness is just a gash away
Ab
When I open a familiar scar
Eb7+
Pain goes shooting like a star
Abm Eb7+
Comfort hasn't failed to follow so far
Cm7 Eb7+
And you might say it's self-indulgent
Cm7 Eb7+
You might say its self-destructive
Cm7 Eb7+
But, you see, it's more productive
Cm7 Ab7+
Than if I were to be healthy
Ab
And pens and penknives take the blame
Eb7+
Crane my neck and scratch my name
Ab
But the ugly marks
Eb7+
Are worth the momentary gain
Abm
When I jab a sharpened object in
Eb7+
Choirs of angels seem to sing
Abm Eb7+
Hymns of hate in memorandum
Cm7 Eb7+
And you might say it's self-indulgent
Cm7 Eb7+
And you might say it's self-destructive
Cm7 Eb7+
But, you see, it's more productive
Cm7 Ab7+
Than if I were to be happy
Fm Ab
And sappy songs about sex and cheating
Fm Ab
Bland accounts of two lovers meeting
Fm Ab7+
Make me want to give mankind a beating
Eb7+ Ab Eb7M)
Cm7 Eb7+
And you might say it's self-destructive
Cm7 Eb7+
But, you see, I'd kick the bucket
Cm7 Ab7+
Sixty times before I'd kick the habit
Ab
And as the skin rips off
Eb7+
I cherish the revolting thought
Abm
That even if I quit
Eb7+
There's not a chance in hell I'd stop
Abm
And anyone can see the signs
Eb7+
Mittens in the summertime
Abm Eb7+
Thank you for your pity, you are too kind
Cm7 Eb7+
And you might say its self-inflicted
Cm7 Eb7+
But you see, that's contradictive
Cm7
Why on earth would anyone
Ab7+
Practice self-destruction?
Fm Ab
And pain opinions are sitcom feeding
Fm Ab
They dont know that their minds are teething
Fm Ab7+
Makes me want to give mankind a beating
Eb7+ Ab Eb7M)
Ab
I've tried bandages and sinking
Eb7+
I've tried gloves and even thinking
Abm Eb7
I've tried vaseline
Abm Eb7+
I've tried everything
Fm Ab
And none cares if your back is bleeding
Fm Ab
They're concerned with their hair receding
Fm Ab
Looking back, it was all maltreating
Fm Ab
Every thought that occurred misleading
Fm Ab7+
Makes me want to give myself a beating
Eb7+ Ab G
