B  E  B  A E 

Verse : 

B
When you're feeling like an astronaut
E
Stuck on a planet even time forgot, and
B                                                   A   E
You're a version of yourself, but you're not the same
B
You try to keep the wound camouflaged, and
E
The stitches heal, but the years are lost, and
B                                            A   E
Another bottle on the shelf can't numb the pain

Pre-Chorus : 

C#m
Why you running from yourself now?
F#
You can't run away

Chorus : 

       B                     E
'cause your scars shine like dark stars
           B                              A          E
Yeah, your wounds are where the light shines through
         B                 E
So let's go there, to that place where
              F#m                                E
We sing these broken prayers where the light shines through
                                  B          A
The wound is where the light shines through
           E                            B          A   E
Yeah, the wound is where the light shines through

Verse: 

B
Ain't we all just Abraham's son?
E
Saint and sinner with the song and drum, and
B                                               A   E
We're falling on our knees, we all bleed the same
        B
And the only tattoos that I have are scars
E
I got your name written on my heart
        B                                                   A   E
And the story that brought us here ain't the thing that changed, no

Pre-Chorus: 

C#m
I wanna see that light shining
F#
Brighter than the pain
