|F |Gm |Dm |Dm |
|F |Gm |Dm |Dm |
Used to pull down my sleeves, used to put makeup on
|F |Gm |Dm |Dm |
So everyone would think, I’m fine and nothing's wrong
|Bb |Dm |
I buried all the pain, used to feel so ashamed
|C |C |
Of all the things I wrote, about myself with razor blades
|Bb |Dm |
But I kept holding on, until the final page
|C |C |C |
Survive the story, ’cause the ending changes everything
|Dm |Bb |
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos
|F |C |
Because I'm so damn proud of what they put me through
|Dm |Bb |F |C |
I've learned without a doubt every mark that, makes you feel worthless, can give you a purpose
|Dm |Bb |F |C |
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos, ’cause I'm a miracle, every cut is proof
|Dm |Bb |F |C |
Another chapter written in the story, what couldn't kill me made me something so brave
|C |
I wear them like
|F |Gm |Dm |Dm |
tattoos
|F |Gm |Dm |Dm |
I've held my story down, I’ve swallowed every scream
|F |Gm |Dm |Dm |
Thought if I wasn't fake, they’d think that I'm a freak
|Bb |Dm |
I buried all the pain, used to feel so ashamed
|C |C |
Until I learned that you can't change the past, just choose the frame
|Bb |Dm |
So I'll keep writing songs, until they know my name
|C |C |C |
'Cause there's a kid out there that's hearing this, that’s in that place
|Dm |Bb |
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos
|F |C |
Because I'm so damn proud of what they put me through
|Dm |Bb |F |C |
I've learned without a doubt every mark that, makes you feel worthless, can give you a purpose
|Dm |Bb |F |C |
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos, ’cause I'm a miracle, every cut is proof
|Dm |Bb |F |C |
Another chapter written in the story, what couldn't kill me made me something so brave
|C |
I wear them like
|F |F |C |C |
tattoos, no more dysmorphia, I will not grieve, the darkest days that made a masterpiece
|Dm |Dm |Bb |Bb |
I choose to celebrate what made me me, ’cause a heart of gold, no it don't come cheap
|C |C |C |
And this heart of gold's one the world will need
|Dm |Bb |
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos
|F |C |
Because I'm so damn proud of what they put me through
|Dm |Bb |F |C |
I've learned without a doubt every mark that, makes you feel worthless, can give you a purpose
|Dm |Bb |F |C |
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos, ’cause I'm a miracle, every cut is proof
|Dm |Bb |F |C |
Another chapter written in the story, what couldn't kill me made me something so brave
|C |
I wear them like tattoos
