[VERSE 1]
G
When you're feeling like an astronaut
C
Stuck on a planet even time forgot, and
G                                                   F   C
You're a version of yourself, but you're not the same
G
You try to keep the wound camouflaged, and
C
The stitches heal, but the years are lost, and
G                                            F   C
Another bottle on the shelf can't numb the pain
 
[PRE-CHORUS]
Am
Why you running from yourself now?
D
You can't run away
 
[CHORUS]
       G                     C
'cause your scars shine like dark stars
           G                              F          C
Yeah, your wounds are where the light shines through
         G                 C
So let's go there, to that place where
              Dm7                               C
We sing these broken prayers where the light shines through
                                  G          F
The wound is where the light shines through
           C                            G          F   C
Yeah, the wound is where the light shines through
 
[VERSE 2]
G
Ain't we all just Abraham's son?
C
Saint and sinner with the song and drum, and
G                                               F   C
We're falling on our knees, we all bleed the same
        G
And the only tattoos that I have are scars
C
I got your name written on my heart
        G                                                   F   C
And the story that brought us here ain't the thing that changed, no
 
[PRE-CHORUS]
Am
I wanna see that light shining
D
Brighter than the pain
 
[CHORUS]
       G                       C
'cause your scars shine like a dark star
           G                              F          C
Yeah, your wounds are where the light shines through
         G                 C
So let's go there, to that place where
              Dm7                                C
We sing these broken prayers where the light shines through

Bb                                    F
Mama, ain't the blood just proof I'm human?
Ab                               Eb           G Ab A
Mama, ain't the wound just retribution?
Bb                                          D    C
Well Mama, ain't the scar like a vision of grace?
 
G         F          C      G
(It's the scars that make a man
                   F          C          G
So maybe all these scars are [friends?])
