Intro C Dm Am
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
Chorus
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

Int. C Dm Am
C Dm
i've held my story down
Am

C Dm
thought if i wasn't fake
Am
they'd think that i'm a freak..

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..
