C#m B C#m

                                                 C#m B C#m
You've been pretty since the day that you were born
                                   C#m B C#m
So the roots of your beautiful hair
                                           C#m B
Drew all the water that your body could hold
             A
So when your soul needed water, no water was there.

[Verse 2]

C#m B C#m

                                   C#m B C#m
You shed words like so much dead skin
                                      C#m B C#m
They gather up like dust against walls
                                   C#m B
They kick up when someone comes in
                A
So when they're looking for something they find nothing at all.


[Chorus]

E         B       C#m    B/D#
Hold your goddamn tongue
E      B       A
You forget yourself.
E           B      C#m  B/D#
How could I be the one
E                       B       A
If you're wrapped round someone else?


[Verse 2]

C#m B C#m

                                       C#m B C#m
And I really don't know which feels worse
                            C#m B C#m
To be a fool or be with a liar.
                                          C#m B
I just know that heart once soaked and cursed
   A
Is that much harder to set on fire.


[Coda]

            A   E/G# B
And I won't let this die
           E    B   C#m
Until I've seen you cry
         F#/A#   A
A single tear to show

There's water in your soul.
