E          A
You hold a piece of me
              E
Close to your heart
    B
You take it out dancing
    A
You tear it apart

    B
You dress it up pretty
  G#m        C#m
You put on a show
A
Or call it a straw-man
    B           B7
And send for the crows

E                 A
How strong do you think I am?
B                              B7

           E
Here in my B
       B
When I walk through the places
     A
That we used to know

  B
I feel you resenting
    G#m        C#m
The stories we told
    A
The versions of us
   B            B7
We attempted to mould
