Then the rhythm plays on E and the lead goes something like (it's not exact but sounds
to play along):
E|---7---7---7---7---4---4---4---4---5---5---5---5---5---5--/7-5-4-0-|

Came at you in silence, my back at the wall
I've seen those nights where you binge and purge
Those locks on your doors tell me when you're crouched on all fours
Counting tile, losing bile and sleep
It's just a diet, I've kept it quiet, even if you told all my family
And friends they would never believe it
I think you're right, I can't believe it too
That it's you, but it's you
|-/7-5-4-0-
My problems hide in numbers that leave when I gag and heave
I weighed out every option, that scale's not fit for advice
Medical language won't ever help to shape this if that
mind is just as frail as it's frame you know I'd leave it alone
Rhythm sits on E, lead plays
E|--12--------------------|
B|-----12---9h10p9-10-9---|
We can beat genetics, adopting new aesthetics for beautiful bodies
Figures ever-so-slender
Taking control, oh. Oh, what a nice, nice thing.
Besides, my problems hide in numbers that leave when I gag and heave
And heaving's kind of hard with your hands tied round your waist
Point out the obvious, tell me how dangerous
Then bundle every fight in an "isn't right" and leave it alone
Alternate between A5 and B5 for one bar each, and then when the cello comes in,
between playing E and A for two bars each.
