Chalk Outline

	  		

          Em 
I've been cursed 
          C 
I've been crossed 
          Am 
I've been beaten by the ones 
            C 
That get me off 


          Em 
I've been cut 
          C 
I've been opened up 
          Am                                C 
I've been shattered by the ones I thought I loved 

Em 
You left me here 
Like a chalk outline 
       C 
On the sidewalk 
                             Am 
Waiting for the rain to wash away 
     C 
Wash away 

    Em 
You keep coming back 
To the scene of the crime 
        C 
But the dead can't speak 
                                Am 
And there's nothing left to say anyway 
             C 
All you left behind 
           Em 
Is a chalk outline 

          Em 
I've been cold 
       C 
In the crypt 
           Am                            C 
But not as cold as the words across your lips 
                Em 
You'll be sorry baby 
C 
Someday 
         Am 
When you reach across the bed 
         C 
Where my body used to lay 

Em 
You left me here 
Like a chalk outline 
       C 
On the sidewalk 
                             Am 
Waiting for the rain to wash away 
     C 
Wash away 

    Em 
You keep coming back 
To the scene of the crime 
        C 
But the dead can't speak 
                                Am 
And there's nothing left to say anyway 
             C 
All you left behind 
           C 
Is a chalk outline 


             G 
All you left behind 
           Em 
Is a chalk outline 

(Solo) 

(All you left behind) 
You left me here 
Like a chalk outline 
On the sidewalk 
Waiting for the rain to wash away 
Wash away 

You keep coming back 
To the scene of the crime 
But the dead can't speak 
And there's nothing left to say anyway 
All you left behind 
Is a chalk outline
