[Verse 1]
G#m B F#
If I never had to catch that train
G#m B F#
If nobody would have called my name
Emaj7 F# G#m F#
If you never, would I have ever found out
G#m B F#
You had questions and you knew names
G#m B F#
Hidden secrets linked in chains
Emaj7 F# G#m F#
Wrapped in circles locked in squares
[Chorus]
Emaj7 F# G#m F#
I was a stranger in my own skin
Emaj7 F# G#m F#
7 layers grazed and wearing thin
Emaj7 F# G#m F#
I was a stranger in my own skin
Emaj7 D#m G#m B F# G#m B F#
7 layers I've been hiding in
[Verse 2]
G#m B F#
Fathers' eyes and my fathers' smile
G#m B F#
I couldn't tell I was just a child
Emaj7 F# G#m F#
Missing memories replaced by doubts
G#m B F#
Speaking tongues into my ears
G#m B F#
told herself what she had to hear
Emaj7 F# G#m F#
but did she ever think I'd never find out
[Chorus]
Emaj7 F# G#m F#
I was a stranger in my own skin
Emaj7 F# G#m F#
7 layers grazed and wearing thin
Emaj7 F# Amno5
I was a stranger in my own skin
Emaj7 D#m G#m
7 layers I've been hiding in
[Bridge]
Emaj7 G#m
Spinning round and round in circles
D#m Emaj7
Tie me like a ball of string
Emaj7 G#m
Running around in all your secrets
D#m Emaj7
One by one unraveling
[Chorus]
Emaj7 F# G#m F#
I was a stranger in my own skin
Emaj7 F# G#m F#
7 layers grazed and wearing thin
Emaj7 F# Amno5
I was a stranger in my own skin
Emaj7 D#m G#m
7 layers I've been hiding in
Emaj7 G#m D#m Emaj7 G#m D#m Emaj7
Ooohh ooohh Ooohh ooohh
[Chorus]
Emaj7 F# G#m
I was a stranger in my own skin
Emaj7 D#m G#m
7 layers I've been hiding in
