[Intro] [pluck strings 4,3,2 until halfway through the bridge]
C/E F C/G C/G
C/E F C/G C/G
[Verse 1] [4,3,2]
C/E F C/G
I can still taste you, and I hate it
C/E F C/G
That wasn't a choice in the mind of a child and you knew it
F Am C/G
You took the first slice of me and you ate it raw
F Am C/G
Ripped it in with your teeth and your lips like a cannibal
C/G C/G
You fucking animal
[Verse 2] [4,3,2]
C/E F C/G
I can still taste you, and it kills me
C/E F C/G
That there's still some sick part of it that thrills me
F Am C/G
That my own body keeps betraying me
F Am C/G
There is such power there, it may destroy me
C/G
But it compels me
[Chorus] [4,3,2]
F
Of course I deny it
Am
Can hardly believe it
C
Dismiss or demean it
F C/E
Cause I know I can't speak it
[Verse 3] [4,3,2]
C/E F
But when I began to tell
C/G
It became the hardest thing
C/G
I ever said out loud
C/E F C/G
The words got locked in my throat
C/G
Man, I choked
F Am C/G
And this is what it feels like to be free
F Am
Even though it follows back down
C/G
Stares into the dark with me
[Chorus] [4,3,2]
F
Even then I deny it
Am
Can hardly believe it
C
Dismiss or demean it
F C/E
But I know I must speak it
[Bridge] [4,3,2 to start]
Am G6 C
If I could forgive you now
Fsus2 C G6 Am
Release you from all of the blame I know how
Am G6 C
If I could forgive you now
Fsus2 C G6 Am
As if saying the words will help me know how
[Still the bridge]
[Switch to plucking strings 3,2,1 for the rest of the song - thumb still plays the bass]
[Except: on the Dm/F ONLY, pluck 4,3,2]
F/A C/G F/A C/E Dm/F F/A
To begin again
C/G
Help me know how
F/A
To begin
[Instrumental]
C/E F C/G C/G
C/E F F/A
[Outro]
C/G F/A
Help me know how
C/E F F/A
To begin again
C/G F/A
Help me know how
C/E F C/G
To begin again
C/E F C/G
Begin again
C/E F F
I can still taste you, and I hate it
That wasn't a choice in the mind of a child and you knew it
You took the first slice of me and you ate it raw
Ripped it in with your teeth and your lips like a cannibal
You fucking animal
I can still taste you, and it kills me
That there's still some sick part of it that thrills me
That my own body keeps betraying me
There is such power there, it may destroy me
But it compels me
Of course I deny it
Can hardly believe it
Dismiss or demean it
'Cause I know I can't speak it
But when I began to tell, it became the hardest thing
I ever said out loud
The words got locked in my throat
Man, I choked
And this is what it feels like to be free
Even though it follows back down
Stares into the dark with me
Even then I deny it
Can hardly believe it
Dismiss or demean it
But I know I must speak it
If I could forgive you now
Release you from all of the
Blame, I know how
If I could forgive you now
As if saying the words
Will help me know how
To begin again
Help me know how
To begin
Help me know how
To begin again
Help me know how
To begin again
Begin again
