The Man With No Skin Lyrics

D? D? D? D? D? D? D'D?D'D?* C? C? C? C? C? C? C'C?C'C?*
*Remove your finger from the string to play it openly. G string (third string) for the D chord and
B string (second string) for the C chord.
Please NOTE: Don't follow completely the upper tab. Just listen to the song to get the right strumming.
The tablature above is just a guidance. I strongly recommend to just listen to the song, feel it and you will
get the perfect strumming pattern.
For the four verses you can continue playing the intro with the same strumming pattern or just play the
chords.
If I could crawl into a shell
Then I would a mile away
Things are heavy enough already
And I really do think that's
The best that I can do
Stuck here and all
And I really do think that
Don't care at all
Take a step forwards
Don't be afraid
Take a step backwards
Don't be afraid
So go on
So look back
Stuck inside a heavy shell
Try to walk and not be pushed
horus 1
The chords for the chorus are G - A - D - G. There are some variations for the A and D chords that
I am showing in the tab below, however you can play them just normal and it sounds still very good.
You can play the variations if you want to sound it the most similar to the record as possible
And the man with no skin
I would not let him in
Would not let him sign off
'Cause nobody wants to see
A beating heart
Or a lung
Or a brain
Used to get so caught up
Used to get so wrapped up
Now I find myself feeling
Disillusioned and emotionless
Like I've been betrayed
This world let me down
In a big way
Now I feel like a dog maimed
Picking at fleas
Picking at fleas
horus 2
And the man with no skin
I would not let him in
Would not let him sign off
'Cause nobody wants to see
A beating heart
Or a lung
Or a brain
It's hard to walk
With broken legs
It gets hard to breathe
Without lungs
It's hard to love the world
Without a heart
What else should I cut out?
Where do I start?
horus 3
A new chord appears at the end of this chorus.
And the man with no skin
I would not let him in
Would not let him sign off
'Cause nobody wants to see
A beating heart
Or a lung
Or a brain
Start to grow a second skin
To keep the insides in
This one is obviously not thick enough
It's time to grow a second skin
Keep the insides in
And maybe get some longer and mask(?)
And maybe get some longer and mask(?)
And maybe get some longer and mask(?)
