   C7/F  C7/Ab

You can tell
         C/F
and the cracks in my hips
        C/Ab
and the dents in my car
and the blisters on my lips
         D       F
that i'm not the carefullest of girls

you can tell
         C/F
and the strings that're breaking
      C/Ab
and i keep on breaking more
and it looks like i am shaking
         D
but it's just the temperature
F
and then again
           C                        F
if it were any colder i could disengage
                    D
if i were any older i would act my age
           F
but i dont think that you'd believe me
     C               F
it's not the way i'm meant to be
              D
it's just the way the operation made me

and you can tell
         C/F
that they let me out too soon
        C/Ab
and the pills that i ate
came a couple years too late
       D                      F
and ive got some issues to work through
there i go again
    C                F
pretending to be you
make-believing
       Am
that i have a soul beneath the surface
E
trying to convince you
       F*
it was accidentally on purpose

C7/F   C7/Ab

Db
i am not so serious
     Eb
this passion is a plagiarism
Bb
i might join your century
    Db
but only on a rare occasion
Db
i was taken out
           Eb
before the labor pains set in and now
  Bb
behold the world's worst accident
F
i am the girl anachronism

C7/F   C7/Ab    C7/F   C7/Ab

and you can tell
       C/F
and the bruises on my thighs
        C/Ab
and the knots in my hair
and the bathtub full of flies
         D                    F
that i'm not right now at all
there i go again
     C
pretending that i'll fall
F
don't call the doctors
             D                  F
cause they've seen it all before
they'll say just
C                  F
let her crash and burn she'll learn
      D
the attention just encourages her

and you can tell
         C/F
that you are sorry that you asked
               C/Ab
though you did everything you could
like any decent person would
      D                           F
but i might be catching so don't touch
                               C                   F
you'll start believing youre immune to gravity and stuff
don't get me wet
            D                      F
because the bandages will all come off

and you can tell
         C/F
that the current state is critical
C/Ab
well it is the little things, for instance:
       C/F
in the time it takes to break it she can make up ten excuses:
please excuse her for the day, its just the way the medication makes her...

C7/F   C7/Ab

Db                   Eb
i dont necessarily believe there is a cure for this
   Bb                            Db
so i might join your century but only as a doubtful guest
Db                     Eb
i was too precarious removed as a caesarian
  Bb
behold the worlds worst accident

F
