[Verse 1]
Eb Bb
It’s not surprising
Eb Bb
That you have all those wounds
Eb Bb
They're advertising
Eb Bb
The things that you've been through
Eb Bb
It's tantalizing
Eb Bb
To psychoanalyze
Eb Bb
We're all downsizing
Eb
What we do with our lives
[Chorus 1]
F Bb
There's not enough money
Eb Bb
In this whole world
F Bb Eb
To pay for a break or two
F Bb Eb Bb
There's not enough armor in a suit of mail
F Bb Eb Bb
Your broken skin's not black or blue
F Bb Eb
But damaged just the same
F Bb Eb Bb
And who does not feel fractured too
Eb Bb
Like broken skin
Eb Bb
Broken skin

[Verse 2]
Eb Bb
The sun's not rising
Eb Bb
Upon your burned out shell
Eb Bb
Still exercising
Eb Bb
The things you don't do well
Eb Bb
It's not enterprising
Eb Bb
To grapple with the past
Eb Bb
You're past surmising
Eb
How long the past can last
[Chorus 2]
F Bb
There's not enough trees
Eb Bb
You can hide behind
F Bb Eb
Not enough walls to climb
F Bb Eb Bb
Not enough cracks in the paving stones
F Bb Eb Bb
Your broken skin's not black or blue
F Bb Eb
But damaged just the same
F Bb Eb Bb
And who does not feel fractured too
Eb Bb
Like broken skin
