These are Salt chords by The Devil Wears Prada on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Intro]
Am C F G6 (x2)

[Verse]
              Am      C
I can never process
          G6
What I'm feeling in my bones
        Am       C
Like a sickness
     G6
That I can't diagnose

[Pre-chorus]
F                     G6
Some days I think I'm afraid
of my shadow
  Am                Bsus
I show up to fight at all
the wrong battles
    F
And I don't think my mind
                    G6
 will be right 'til I

[Chorus]
                 Am          C
Pour the salt into the wound
                   F
Let the rain wash over you
G6               Am
If everything I said
         C
was true
             F
Then why am I paralyzed?
Am C F G6
Am C F

[Verse]
Am          C
Watch the grass blow in
                  G6
 the wind for the hell of it
             Am               C
And sometimes I get so caught up
              G6
 that I forget (how
 could I forget?)

[Pre-chorus]
F                           G6
That all of our words only mean
 what's behind them
Am                 Bsus
You can't throw gasoline
 on a fire
F
And say you tried to
         G6
 put it out

[Chorus]
Am
Pour the salt into the wound
C                        F   G6
Let the rain wash over you
                 Am        C
If everything I said was true
            G6
Then why am I
                  Am      C
Hiding from the blinding lights?
            F        G6
I never had an alibi
                  Am       C
If everything I said was true
            G6
Then why am I, why am
I still paralyzed?
Am C

[Bridge]
               G6         Am
Why am I still paralyzed?
                 F
Step back as the ashes rise
       C
Embers up toward the sky
     G6
With all the things that
 I can't find

[Chorus]
                Am       C
Pour the salt into the wound
                  F
Let the rain wash over you
                Am        C
If everything I said was true
               G6
Then why am I
                  Am      C
Hiding from the blinding lights?
               F      G6
I never had an alibi
                 Am        C
If everything I said was true
            G6
Then why am I, why am
I still paralyzed?
Am C F G6
             Am   C
Still paralyzed
F G
Am
