So go on
                Abm
And I will refrain
     B                                     Abm
And I'll keep on running this neverending race
  B                           Abm
maybe next time will be the right time
     B                       Abm
and maybe next time will be your time


               Dbm
So save your scissors
              B
For someone else's skin
      Abm
My surface is so tough
                 E
I don't think the blade will dig in


Dbm
Save your strength
         B
Save your wasted time
  Abm                               E
There's no way that I want you to be left behind
                 B
Go on save your scissors
          Abm
Save your scissors


   B                   Abm
So why does it always seem
      B
That every time I turn around
          Abm
Somebody falls in love with me
B                           Abm
This has never been my soul intention
    B                                        Abm
And I have never claimed to have patents on such inventions


               Dbm
Just save your scissors
              B
For someone else's skin
      Abm
My surface is so tough
                 E
I don't think the blade will dig in


Dbm
Save your strength
         B
Save your wasted time
  Abm                               E
There's no way that I want you to be left behind
                 B
Go on save your scissors
          Abm
Save your scissors


E                         Abm                 B
There is something that I must confess to you tonight
       Dbm
To you tonight
     E                Abm                   B
And that is I expect nothing less from you tonight
          Dbm
From you tonight


                  B
Go on save your scissors
         Abm
Save your scissors
         B
Save your scissors
