Salt Skin by Ellie Goulding
CAPO ON 3RD FRET
FYou're as sharp as a knife and you fit like a glove
AmThat is no way to live that is no way to love
FFull of fear in your skin and the weakness in givinAmg in
FStabbed in the back but you feel no pain
AmPush the heaviest doors that you can't open
FYeah they tied me up and my body lies still, Amagain
FYou're as bright as the sun and as bold as the moon
AmI don't know when you'll break but it's gonna be soon
FIf my will caves in, I'll be in teh same boat Amas you
FI've got the salt skin
Running to where Amhe is
Never going to giFve in
Even with the sEtrength
He's stealing sFalt skin
Telling me I'm wAminning wars they creaFted just to undersEtand...
F- Am  
"the meaning of"
Hands on strings and my mouth open
Find the perfect words that I've not spoken
And I won't tell the truth unless you want me to
For all of the times that I lost my head
When it rolled to the floor and I found it again
But when it came back,
I didn't know my own name
I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created just to understand...
"the meaning of"
F- A  
I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Neer going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created just to understand...
"the meaning of"
I've got the salt skin
Running to where heis
Neer going to give in
Even with the strength
He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they created just to understand...
"the meaning of"
