Dmsus - G7/A - C
F C
This is only temporary
E Dm
These songs are my worst habits
G7/A Am7
My looks and my skin and my hair
F6
In this town, this place I call my home
G7/A C
Well it's me just purely
F C
And I promise I'll get back on track
E Dm
I'll get better so I can come home
G7/A Am7
My looks and my skin and in my head
F6
In this town, this place I call my home
G6/A C
Well it's me just purely
F C
And this cancer, it ain't terminal

And this fetish for lovely creatures

Well, it's me just purely
