Beneath the Skin Memphis May Fire
CAPO 1
Intro: Am
[Am]Another day she sets [C]foot in this prison, [F]dreading what they'll [G]say.
[Am]So much to give, but no [C]one ever listens.
[F]She dreams of running [G]away.
[Am]Crippled by the way they [C]make her feel, she takes a [F]look at her wrists &a[G]mp; turns to the blade.
[Am]It's not a cry for at[C]tention if she just wants to [F]feel anything ot[G]her than the pain.
[Am]Everyone des[C]erves to be loved,[F] but they make her hate [G]everything she was sure of!
[Am]Every day feels like [C]her against the world.
[F]Now she's afr[G]aid she'll never be enough.
[Am]No one knows all the [C]weight that she holds when she [F]feels alone.
The memo[G]ries, they haunt her.
[Am]No one sees all the [C]pain she brings every[F]where she goes.
She feels they'll [G]never want her.
[Am]She dreams of a [C]day when she won't have to [F]cry herself to [G]sleep.
[Am]Staring at the [C]scars on her wrists she [F]knows this is not who she [G]wants to be.
[Am]Another night all a[C]lone with her thoughts, [F]dwelling on the questions that [G]race through her head.
[Am]Scared to sleep, scared to [C]wake up & face the day w[F]hen she can't forget [G]the things that they said.
[Am]No one knows all the [C]weight that she holds when she [F]feels alone.
The memo[G]ries, they haunt her.
[Am]No one sees all the [C]pain she brings every[F]where she goes.
She feels they'll [G]never want her.
[Am]All she wa[C]nts is someone to [F]notice; so sick of [G]feeling invisible.
[Am]All she [C]needs is someone to [F]care.
If only they could [G]see that she's incredible.
[Am]She dreams of a [C]day when she won't have to [F]cry herself to [G]sleep.
[Am]Is our generation too blind to see true beauty lies beneath the skin?
So ignorant! [Am]
[Am]Are they too cold, too [C]numb to see the lifelong ef[F]fects of the pain they inf[G]lict?
[Am]Is our generation [C]too blind to see true [F]beauty lies beneath the [G]skin?
[Am]No one knows all the [C]weight that she holds when she [F]feels alone. [G]
[Am]No one sees all the [C]pain she brings every[F]where she goes. [G]
