[Verse 1]
Am  B
I’m art
G                            Am   B        Em
You want to smudge it to the, the point of no recognition
    Am   B          G               Am B   Em
To a big mess where all your fantasies are real
C   B     Am      Em           C
 When you maim my body, does it stick?
B       Am       Em      C
Does it keep you wanting it?
     B Am  Em   B5
Or are you just bored?
           Am B   G         Am B Em E5
You want a biological metaphor
 
[Pre-Chorus]
      E5   C5
I’m so warm
B5    E5   G5
I’m so warm
      A5 B5
I’m so

[Chorus]
Em                                     C
I’m hard like all the things you can’t break
            Am
That you collect ‘cause they fascinate you
Em
I’m soft like rotting fruit
            C             Am
You want to burrow deep inside and take root
Em      C            Am
Did you figure it out?
        B            Em
Did you figure me out?
        C            Am B
Did you figure it out?

[Verse 2]
Am    B      G
I’m a mystery
                       Am     B   Em
Want to solve it with a drunk memory
                    Am
But I won’t let you in
          B              G       Am   B Em
You’re in love with your own repulsion
         C                B
If you punch it, is there skin?
             Am                  Em
And such a nice, soft place to land?
        C    B          Am    Em
Will it save your frustration?
            Am B    G       Am   B Em A5
You want a biological explanation
 
[Pre-chorus]
      E5   C5
I’m so warm
B5    E5   G5
I’m so warm
      A5 B5     E5
I’m so
 
A5     E5  C5
I’m so warm
B5      E5     G5
I’m your source
       A5 B5
I’m yours
 
[Breakdown]
 
Em   D   G   Am B
Em   D   G   C  B
 
Em D  G    Am B
I’m so warm
Em D    G      C B
I’m your source
Em D       G     Am B
I’m your security
         Em      D       G    C   B
I am the mother and the colony, so

[Chorus]
Em                                     C
I’m hard like all the things you can’t break
            Am
That you collect ‘cause they fascinate you
Em
I’m soft like rotting fruit
            C             Am

        B            Em
Did you figure me out?
        C            Am B
Did you figure it out?
 
[Outro]
Em
You won’t abandon me
      C                  Am        Em
The comforts of conquest and biology
               B
Don’t touch me
C     Am
Don’t touch me
