Capo: 5th fret
[Verse 1]
C E
One more covered up tattoo,
Am
New year but same issues
New shoes,
C G
Scraped my knees tryna re-tie the laces
C E
Boy one was better than boy two,
Am
Just a little more to lose
The short fuse,
C G
He blew it and I couldn't face it
[Pre-chorus]
Fm C
And for every jab he took
Dm G
He left a million-dollar baby that much weaker
[Chorus]
F C
It's not about one open scar
G
One broken heart,
Am G F
It's not about one drop of blood,
C
It's all the little stuff
G
I've bottled up
Am G F
While I'm pushed under thе rug
C G
How many times do I build it up
Am G
To watch it all fall down?
F C
It's not about one open scar,
G
One crashing car
Am G F
It's not about one broken heart
Fm C
But a thousand papercuts
[Verse 2]
C E
Child, I'm rubber and he's glue,
Am
New book, cannot get through
To chapter two,
C G
I hurt my finger by turnin' the pages
C E
It's wild, the things you can't undo,
Am
So many black and blues
I outgrew,
C G
I'm timing in all the right places
[Pre-chorus]
Fm C
And every jab he took
Dm G
Left a hundred-thousand cuts he made from paper
[Chorus]
F C
It's not about one open scar
G
One broken heart,
Am G F
It's not about one drop of blood,
C
It's all the little stuff
G
I've bottled up
Am G F
While I'm pushed under thе rug
C G
How many times do I build it up
Am G
To watch it all fall down?
F C
It's not about one open scar,
G
One crashing car
Am G F
It's not about one broken heart
Fm C
But a thousand papercuts
[Bridge]
E
Paper hurts, paper does what paper should
Am C G
Paper plate, paper skin, broken hearts make papercuts
[Chorus]
F C
It's not about one open scar
G
One broken heart,
Am G F
It's not about one drop of blood,
C
It's all the little stuff
G
I've bottled up
Am G F
While I'm pushed under thе rug
C G
How many times do I build it up
Am G
To watch it all fall down?
F C
It's not about one open scar,
G
One crashing car
Am G F
It's not about one broken heart
Fm C
But a thousand papercuts
One more covered up tattoo
New year, same issues
New shoes scrapped my knees tryna re-tie the laces
Boy one was better than boy two
Just a little more to lose
With a short fuse he blew it and I couldn't face it
And for every jab he took
He left a million dollar baby that much weaker
It's not about one open scar
A broken heart
It's not about one drop of blood
It's all the little stuff of bottled up
What I pushed under the rug
How many times do I build it up
To watch it all fall down
It's not about one open scar
A crashing car
It's not about one broken heart
But a thousand paper cuts
Child
I'm rubber and he's glue
No book, cannot get through to chapter two
I hurt my finder by turnin' them pages
It's wild things you can't undo
So many black and blue's I out grew
I'm timing it all the right places
And every jab we took
Left a hundred thousand cuts we made from paper
It's not about one open scar
A broken heart
It's not about one drop of blood
It's all the little stuff of bottled up
What I pushed under the rug
How many times do I build it up
To watch it all fall down
It's not about one open scar
A crashing car
It's not about one broken heart
But a thousand paper cuts
Paper hopes
Paper does what paper should
Paper plates, paper skin
Broken hearts make papercuts
It's not about one open scar
A broken heart
It's not about one drop of blood
It's all the little stuff I bottled up
What I pushed under the rug
How many times do I build it up
To watch it all fall down
It's not about one open scar
A crashing car
It's not about one broken heart
But a thousand paper cuts
