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-|
B|-5---5---5---5---4---4---4---4---5---5---5---5---5---5-------------|
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.
