C Dm
used to pull down my sleeves
Am
used to put makeup on..
C Dm
so everyone would think
Am
i’m fine and nothing’s wrong..

F
i buried all the pain
Am
used to feel so ashamed
G
of all the things i’ve wrote
-G
about myself with razor blades

F
but i kept holding on
Am
until the final page
G
survive the story
cause the ending changes everything

Reff :
Am
and now i wear my scars
F
just like tattoos
C
because i’m so damn proud
G
of what they put me through

Am
i learned without a doubt
F
every mark that makes
C
you feel worthless
G
can give you a purpose

Am
and now i wear my scars
F
just like tattoos
C
cause i’m a miracle,
G
every cut is proof

Am F
another chapter written in the story
C
what couldn’t kill me
G
made me something so brave..
(C)

Int. C Dm Am..

C Dm
i’ve held my story down
Am
i’ve swallowed every scream..
C Dm
thought if i wasn’t fake
Am
they’d think that i’m a freak..

F
i buried all the pain
Am
used to feel so ashamed
G
until i learned that you can’t change
-G
the past just choose the frame

F
so i’ll keep writing songs..
Am
until they know my name..
G
cause there’s a kid out there
that’s hearing this
that’s in that place..

G
the darkest days that made
a masterpiece..

cause a heart of gold,
no it don’t come cheap
G
and this heart of gold’s one
the world will need..
