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
