Not Harmless

Laura Gibson


Tom: Am

        Am        G         Am             
I came clean and there you went
  G           C            G       Am
Stitching up every single seam I split
               Am         G         Am         
You wanna heal me, wanna trace the scars
 G              C                G        Am            
Gonna light a flame for all the unsaved girls

      Am   G      Am   
Black tie on the floor
  G          C         G    Am
Paper-thin dress on a desk chair
       Am    G         Am 
Match wits, march you home
 G         C            G    Am 
Cigarette breath sugar-spun voice

[Chorus]
         C                                           Am G Am
You can pull me aside, hold me like a wounded bird
    C                                Am G Am
But I am no prize, I am not harmless

[Verse 2]
                Am        G         Am 
We charmed the light into doing our work
     G          C              G       Am
But it was the dark we called beautiful
                  Am        G       Am 
I'll teach you to cry in a crowded room
      G                 C             G           Am
I'll teach you how to talk 'till your teeth come loose

[Chorus]
         C                                           Am G Am
You can pull me aside, hold me like a wounded bird
    C                                Am G Am
But I am no prize, I am not harmless

C x4 Am x4

F      
Tell me, tell me, tell me
F                                C
Would it make you feel better now
F                                        
If you tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me
F                      C
Tell me I'm hysterical?

[Verse 3]
      Am     G      Am 
Match wits, bury my will
G                    C                    G       Am
Time will knock you off quick, time will take you out
                 Am        G         Am 
And I'll be the thief you forgot to chase
     G             C           G       Am
The bramble sprung back in the hero's face

[Chorus]
         C                                           Am G Am
You can pull me aside, and I'll whisper my apologies
    C                                Am G Am
But I am no prize, I am not harmless
