           C                   D
There's a lock on my cupboard door,
     Am          C            D
That I can only reach once inside,
      Am     Em      Am      Em   D
And I often sit and wonder who designed,
 Am              C              Bm
Such a perfect place for me to hide

            C
It's just my name,
            Bm
It's just my skin,
           Am
Holding a boulder,
      Bm
Can you swim?
        Em
Oh as we fall,
             G    Am
Through the water,
                     Bm
You find a piece within,
                              Em  C
And you know it's just your skin

     C                             D
Well I was never lonely 'till the day that I was born,
 C                                 D  
Since that day I masquerade in a skin that I have worn,
         C                           G
With at least three separate individual minds,
           C                                     D
When long John returns he'll give a scream, and what he finds

            C
It's just my name,
            Bm
It's just my skin,
           Am
Holding a boulder,
      Bm
Can you swim? 
        Em
Oh as we fall,
             G    Am
Through the water,
                     Bm
You find a piece within,

And you know it's just your

  C                                     D
Black dog, black dog, that I'll never know,
     C                                          D
Oh black dog haunts you mind, your world, your soul,
     C                                       D
Oh black dog, black dog, can't you see I am fine?
     Am                                       Bm
Oh black dog, black dog, you're no plague of mine. 

            C
It's just my name,
            Bm
It's just my skin,
            Am
I'm just a boulder,
      Bm
Can you swim? 
              C
It's just my name,
                Bm
Oh, it's just my skin,
               Am
I'm just your boulder,
          Bm
Can you swim?
        Em
Oh as we fall,
             G    Am
Through the water,
                    Bm
You find a piece inside,
                           Em
And you know it's just your skin.
