Scar — Missy Higgins
Chords and lyrics for Scar by Missy Higgins (key of C).
Intro
[C] [G] [Am] [F]
Verse
He [C]left a card and a [G]bar of soap
And a [Am]scrubbing brush next [F]to a note that said
[C]"Use these [G]down to your [Am]bones"[F]
And [C]before I knew I had [G]shiny skin and
It [Am]felt easy being [F]clean like him
I thought [C]"This one knows [G]better than I [Am]do"[F]
Pre-Chorus
[Dm] A triangle trying to [F]squeeze through a circle
[Dm] He tried to cut me so I'd [F]fit
Chorus
And [G]doesn't that sound [C]familiar?
Doesn't that hit too [G]close to home?
Doesn't that make you [Am]shiver; the way things could've [F]gone?
And [G]doesn't it feel [C]peculiar that everyone wants a [G]little more?
So that I do [Am]remember to never go that [F]far
Could you [G]leave me with a [C][G]scar?[F][Am]
Verse
So the [C]next one came with a [G]bag of treats
She [Am]smelled like sugar and [F]spoke like the sea
She [C]told me "Don't trust [G]them, trust [Am]me"[F]
Then she [C]pulled at my stitches [G]one by one
[Am]Looked at my insides [F]clicking her tongue
And said [C]"This will all [G]have to come [Am]undone"[F]
Pre-Chorus
[Dm] A triangle trying to [F]squeeze through a circle
[Dm] She tried to blunt me so I'd [F]fit
Chorus
And [G]doesn't that sound [C]familiar?
Doesn't that hit too [G]close to home?
Doesn't that make you [Am]shiver; the way things could have [F]gone?
And [G]doesn't it feel [C]peculiar that everyone wants a [G]little more?
So that I do [Am]remember to never go that [F]far
Could you [G]leave me with a [Dm][F]scar?[G][C]
[Dm] [F] [G]
Bridge
I think I [C]realized just in time
Although my [G]old self was hard to find
You can [Am]bathe me in your finest wine but [F]I'll never give you mine
'Cos I'm a [C]little bit tired of fearing that
I'll be the [G]bad fruit nobody buys
[Am]Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the [F]same?
Chorus
And [G]doesn't that sound [C]familiar?
Doesn't that hit too [G]close to home?
Doesn't that make you [Am]shiver; the way things could've [F]gone?
And [G]doesn't it feel [C]peculiar that everyone wants a [G]little more
So that I do [Am]remember to never go that [F]far
Could you leave me with a [C]scar?[G]
[Am] Could you leave me with a [F]scar? [C]ah-ah-ah[G]
[Am] Could you leave me with a [F]scar?[C]
