Capo 4
Intro: G Bm C G D
G Bm
Some are deep, some are not
C D
Some never hurt at all, some hurt a lot
G Bm
Some are there from our mistakes
C D
Some are all that’s left to show of the choices that we’ve made
Em C G D
Some are too small to notice, there to remind us who we are
Em C
Even if the world could look inside us
G D C
They might miss the blemish on our hearts, these scars
G Bm
I’ve got mine, you’ve got yours
C D
I’ve lived enough to know now to hide any more
G Bm
We’ve had time, and time can heal
C
If they could change the way they look
D
They can change the way we feel
Em C
I understand as well as you do
G D
Sometimes a touch can go too far
Em C
Love was never meant to be that easy
G D C
And some don't just disappear in the dark, these scars
D
Pain that I remember
C
Is the pain that makes me stronger
G D
I’ve had to look at life that way
D
I’ve learned to rise above it
C
To keep from going under
G D
Well, I take it step by step, day by day
G Bm
I’m not ashamed of what you see
C D
Because every single scar has become a part of me
G Bm
And all I know, is here and now
C D
Yesterday’s gone, but with me somehow
Em C
Looking back, I’m glad I took my chances
G D
Cause they were worth enough to leave a mark
Em C
Maybe I’m not sure where we’re going
G D
But it means a lot to know just where we start
C
With these scars,
G Bm C G D
G Bm
Some are deep, some are not
C D G
Some never hurt at all, some hurt a lot
