C
If you don't love yourself
                              G
'Cause they'll paint all your flaws
                                        C
And they'll make them look beautiful as hell


[Verse 2]

                   G
N.C.
And don't love an artist
                      C
If you like what they make
                       G
'Cause you'll be immortalized in thousands of notebook lines
                 C
And splotches of paint


[Verse 3]

N.C.          Am
And when they leave
          Bm           C            G
You'll be stuck with a hole in your chest
         Am
With the scent of their skin
         Bm           C              G
And the feel of their bed where they rest
 C
And you can't forget
                         G
'Cause you live in their works
         Am                 C
And when you see those pieces
They just make you feel worse


[Verse 4]

N.C.                     G
'Cause they knew who you are
                   C
Yeah, they knew very well
                      G
But the truth is that now
                                C
What you're left with is only a shell


[Verse 5]

N.C.             G
So don't love an artist
                            C
'Cause they'll take who you were
                        G
And they'll hide you in acronyms
                                     C
Bury you deep in the shapes of their words


[Verse 6]

N.C.          Am
And when they leave
          Bm          C            G
You'll be left with a hole in your chest
         Am
With the scent of their skin
        Bm            C              G
And the feel of their bed where they rest
              Am          C
And you can't forget
'Cause you live in their works
And when you see those pieces
They just make you feel worse
                        G
They just make you feel worse
