Toothpick Tab par Stand Atlantic

C
I wish our skin would meet
                      G
A sting I wish would bleed
       Am                                  F
Like toothpicks sliding under fingernails
                            C
Don't you need a breath of air?
                G
'Cause you're biting at my head
       Am                     G                  F
Like starving great whites feeding in the deep end
    Am            C                G             F
And I wish I was just as strong as I make myself out to be


      C                    Dm
I'm twisting my words to appear like
 F            Am
This doesn't burn
                               F
I'm staring at the sun, paper cuts are in my eyes
 C                           G
Shrinking our worth, mixing fiction
                   Am
With crime like a substance
                        F
I'm addicted to diving into the salt tides
 

                   C
I took you like a thief
                      G
A pinch that doesn't leave
           Am                                   F
It's like ice cubes grinding at your front teeth
                          C
And I miss you while you talk
                            G
It's a comforting sense of shock
            Am                            F
Feels like silver caught inside a toaster
    Am           C                 G             F
And I wish I was just as strong as I make myself out to be

I'm staring at the sun, paper cuts are in my eyes
C                            Dm
Shrinking our worth, mixing fiction
                    Am
With crime like a substance

   C
A fever that I'll never break
       G
'Cause I keep pushing pills away
Am                        F
Just to see my body shake
C                   Am
Expensive red wine, I hate the taste
G                    C
And how the slightest spill will stain
Am             G    F
I drink with you anyway
       Am               C               G              F
'Cause I know that I'm not as strong as I make myself out to be
