Marina And The Diamonds – Scab And Plaster chords

[Verse 1]

Am G C F

  Am        G    C        F          AmI stepped into a room of clocks that all
         G     C        Ftold different times
  Am         G    C        FI stepped into a mirrored world that
Am        G       C        Fmirrored all our crimes
 Am       G       C      F             AmYou keep picking at the scab and I'll keep
     G           C         Fselling the plaster
  Am         G       C       FYou keep telling me that I'm bad
  Am                  G        C         FBut I keep on getting better faster

[Pre-Chorus]

    Em      C            G       AmYou hold me down and you hold me up
    Em           AmYou can't communicate
    Em         C          G        AmYou brought me up just to bring me down
     Em              AmI've nothing left to say

[Refrain]

     Am         G       C   FI've lost, I've lost my innocence
     Am       G    C     FI've found my self-belief
    Am   G      C     FAnd in a cup of loneliness
     Am      G       C   FI've found instant relief

    Am                G       C   FYou hold me down, you hold me up
   Am            G      C   FOh Daddy, are we out of luck?
    Am               G        FYou brought me up to bring me down
    Am              G       C   FYou shut me in, you shut me out

[Verse 2]

    Am        G       C     FI'm gone, I'm gone to heaven
    Am        G       C   FI'm gone, I'm gone to hell
   Am G         C       FIf nobody could see I'd hold
   Am       G     C    FMy hand out to be held

  Am        G         C       FI wish that you could just admit
     Am      G          C   FThat you did bad things too
  Am       G    C      FInstead of criticizing me
   Am      G       C  FSo I don’t look at you

[Pre-Chorus]

    Em      C            G       AmYou hold me down and you hold me up
    Em           AmYou can't communicate
    Em         C          G        AmYou brought me up just to bring me down
     Em              AmI've nothing left to say

[Refrain]

     Am         G       C   FI've lost, I've lost my innocence
     Am       G    C     FI've found my self-belief
    Am   G      C     FAnd in a cup of loneliness
     Am      G       C   FI've found instant relief

    Am                G       C   FYou hold me down, you hold me up
   Am            G      C   FOh Daddy, are we out of luck?
    Am               G        FYou brought me up to bring me down
    Am              G       C   FYou shut me in, you shut me out

[Bridge]

 Am       G       C      FYou keep picking at the scab
     Am   G  C  F        EmSo I keep on selling the plaster
  AmAnd you
    G         C FYou think I'm bad
     Am     G    C   F      EmSo I keep on getting better faster

[Refrain]

     Am         G       C   FI've lost, I've lost my innocence
     Am       G    C     FI've found my self-belief
    Am   G      C     FAnd in a cup of loneliness
     Am      G       C   FI've found instant relief

    Am                G       C   FYou hold me down, you hold me up
   Am            G      C   FOh Daddy, are we out of luck?
    Am               G        FYou brought me up to bring me down
    Am              G       C   FYou shut me in, you shut me out

     Am         G       C   FI've lost, I've lost my confidence
     Am       G    C     FI've found my self-belief
    Am   G      C     FAnd in a cup of loneliness
  Am      G           C   FI sailed a thousand seas

    Am              G       C   FYou tell me what to say and wear
    Am              G         C   FYou say that it's because you care
    Am          G  C    FBut I prefer to be alone
     Am                 G      C  FThan live a life that's not my own
