C#m       F#m             G#               F#m
Under my skin, beneath my fingertips, you slip and slide away
C#m       F#m          G#                  F#m
Let me begin to understand how you operate in such a calculated way

A           B           C#m                      B
Before today, I didn't know if I'd make it, but now it's all making sense
A     G#
Oh, ohh

Chorus:
C#m
I wear you like a new tattoo
      F#m
The design, the desire, I don't wanna remove
G#                                             F#m
You're the kind of thing, that I could love forever
C#m
I wear you like a new tattoo
    F#m
And I'll be so happy, that I'm stuck with you
G#                          F#m
And we cannot deface in any weather, ooohh

Do you ever look in the mirror
And not know who you are, or know where you going
Well, I've been that boy
For what feels like 500 years
Now I'm finally finding me

Before today, I didn't know if I'd make it
But now it's all making sense

Chorus

And I was so lost, and I was so lost, in this world
With no place, and no purpose, no
Blowing up, and I will get bigger, never high
Run a fire, the harder we'll love

Chorus
