Verse: C G He left a card a bar of soap Am F And a scrubbing brush next to a note C G Am F That said use these down to your bones C G And before i knew I had shiny skin Am F And it felt easy being clean like him C G Am F I thought this one knows better than I do Pre-chorus: Dm F G A triangle trying to squeeze thru a circle Dm F He tried to cut me so I'd fit Chorus: G C Doesnt that sound familiar G Doesnt that his too close to home Am Doesnt that make you shiver F The way things could have gone G C Doesnt that feel peculiar G That everyone wants a little more Am And so that I do remember F To never go that far G C Could you leave me with a scar Verse (same chords as first): So the next one came with a bag of treats, she smelled like sugar and spoke like the sea And she told me don't trust them, trust me Then she pulled at my stitches one by one, Looked at my insides clicking her tongue And said "This will all have to come undone" Pre-chorus: Dm F G A triangle trying to squeeze thru a circle Dm F He tried to cut me so I'd fit Chorus: G C Doesnt that sound familiar G Doesnt that his too close to home Am Doesnt that make you shiver F The way things could have gone G C Doesnt that feel peculiar G That everyone wants a little more Am And so that I do remember F To never go that far G Dm Could you leave me with a scar Interlude: Dm F C G Dm F Bridge: I think I realized just in time Although my old self was hard to find You can bathe me in your finest wine but I'll never give you mine Outro: C 'Cos I'm a little bit tired of fearing that I'll be the B Bad fruit nobody buys A F Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?

How to play Scar on ukulele
The strumming pattern that fits is the island strum: d – d u – u d u. The groove sits around 112 bpm, a medium pace. This arrangement is in C major. Chord-wise this is an easy one: everything sits at the novice level. Land the offbeat accents to catch the song's stop-start bounce.
