Capo: 3rd fret
[Verse 1]
Am
You should take it as a compliment
G
If I were you, I would be more confident
You're lucky that you're pretty
Dm
Why are you obsessed with your appearance?
C
I don't wanna hear it, you're fine
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
It's been my best-kept secret for a while now
G
No one ever sees it, but it's all around
D
It's the dinner conversation no one talks about
Am
Don't know how much longer I can keep this down
[Chorus]
Am
Beauty is a knife
G
I've been holding by the blade
Dm
Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything
C
It's all a lie, honestly, it's eating me alive
They're all like
Am
Did you change your hair?
G
Did you lose a little weight?
Dm
You should keep it up 'cause it really looks great
C
I hate that I always look my best
N.C.
When I'm dying on the inside
Am G Dm C
When I'm dying on the inside
[Verse 2]
Am
I wish I could break the mirror
G
It makes me feel like I should fucking disappear
Dm
And drown my demons in a bathtub filled with tears
C
No matter what I try, they always seem to come back to life
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am
What if I didn't do this to my body?
G
What if I quit and then you don't want me?
D
The dinner conversation no one talks about
C
Don't know how much longer I can keep this down
[Chorus]
Am
Beauty is a knife
G
I've been holding by the blade
Dm
Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything
C
It's all a lie, honestly, it's eating me alive
They're all like
Am
Did you change your hair?
G
Did you lose a little weight?
Dm
You should keep it up 'cause it really looks great
C
I hate that I always look my best
N.C.
When I'm dying on the inside
Am G Dm C
When I'm dying on the inside
When I'm dying on the inside
[Bridge]
N.C.

It's been my best kept secret for a while now
No one ever sees it but it's all around
It's the dinner conversation no one talks about
Don't know how much longer I can keep this down
Beauty is a knife, I've been holding by the blade
Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything
It's all a lie
Honestly, it's eating me alive
They're all like
Did you change your hair?
Did you lose a bit of weight?
You should keep it up cause it really looks great
I hate that I
Always look my best
When I'm dying on the inside
When I'm dying on the inside
I wish I could break the mirror
That makes me feel like I should fucking disappear
And drown my demons in a bathtub filled with tears
No matter what I try they always seem to come back to life
What if I didn't do this to my body?
What if I quit and then you don't want me

You should keep it up cause it really looks great
I hate that I
Always look my best
When I'm dying on the inside
When I'm dying on the inside
When I'm dying on the inside
You should take it as a compliment
If I were you I'd me more confident
You're lucky that you're pretty
Why are you obsessed?
With your appearance
I don't wanna hear it, you're fine
Beauty is a knife, I've been holding by the blade
Swallowing my pride so I won't eat anything
It's all a lie
Honestly, it's eating me alive
They're all like
Did you change your hair?
Did you lose a little weight?
You should keep it up cause it really looks great
I hate that I
Always look my best
When I'm dying on the inside
