Take [Fm] a look [Cm] at me, [Db] look at [Ab] my hands
[Bbm] There's so much here that [Eb] I don't understand
[Fm] Your face [C] saving promises, [Db] whispered [Ab] like prayers
I don't need them
[Eb]
Cause [Fm] I've been treated so wrong
[Db] I've been treated so long
[Ab] As if I'm becoming [Eb] untouchable
[F] Well [Cm]
kindness, [Db] it thrives [Ab] in the dark
[Bbm] The fine winding tendrils [Eb] that strangle the heart
[F] They say [C] that promises [Db] [Ab] sweeten the blood
But I don't need them
No, [Eb] I don't need them
[Fm] I've been treated so wrong
[Db] I've been treated so long

Do [Fm] you remember [Cm] the way that [Db] you touched me [Ab] before?
