Verse 1:
            G
I see the slashes on your legs
          G                 Em
And the smile on your face again
          G
Blood is drying on your fingernails
          G                    Em
Laughing at something that I said
                  G
Were you still sitting 'hind the stairs
           G                        Em
With the new boy in your hair when I left?
             G
You seem to recognize my face
       G                         Em
But my hands feel like somebody else's
 
Chorus:
 G
  I blanked last night when you told me
 Em                                      G
  I blanked last night when you told me twice
 
  I blanked last night when you told me
Em
  I blanked last night when you told me twice
 
Verse 2:
              G
You cut your hair off with a blade
             G                         Em
Didn't want a single trace, that poor girl
           G
The water couldn't get you clean
          G                                Em
So you burned your skin instead with the curl -You live in your hell-
               G
I watched an angel cut the sky
            G
Feathers plucked from flight -Just to torture yourself-
         G
And she sunk right through the ground
      G
From colossal heights -Tell me, what could I do?-
           G
When she cried out for my name
    G
I didn't hesitate -The moment when the flies fell-
                  G
I screamed, "I cannot be your saint
                      Em
I know you can't be saved"
 
Chorus:
 G
  I blanked last night when you told me
Em                                        G
  I blanked last night when you told me twice
 
  I blanked last night when you told me
Em
  I blanked last night when you told me twi—
G
  I blanked last night when you told me
Em                                        G
  I blanked last night when you told me twice
 
  I blanked last night when you told me
Em
  I blanked last night when you told me twice
