C7/F C7/Ab
You can tell
C/F
from the scars on my arms
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
from the glass on the floor
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
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/dresden-dolls/98674.html ]
and you can tell
C/F
from the state of my room
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
by the red in my eyes
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
from the full-body cast
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
from the smoke at the stake
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
I AM THE GIRL ANACHRONISM
Bb
I AM THE GIRL ANACHRONISM
F
I AM THE GIRL ANACHRONISM
Bb
I AM THE GIRL ANACHRONISM
F
i am the girl...
F
i am the girl...
i am the girl...
F F*
I AM THE GIRL ANACHRONISM
