Where The Light Shines Through Cifras

Tabbed & arranged by: Josh Daley
 
Note: - The main riff has been tabbed out in two versions.
      - Chords are given for the first verse and first chorus,
        however they are only meant as a guideline for the main riff.
      - The riff changes slightly throughout the song, but is
        generally the same.

You're a version of yourself, but you're not the same
B                         A    B/Eb
You try to keep the wound camouflaged, and
E                          A         B/Eb
The stitches heal, but the years are lost, and
B                     A     B/Eb           A    E
Another bottle on the shelf can't numb the pain

Ain't we all just Abraham's son?

Saint and sinner with the song and drum, and

We're falling on our knees, we all bleed the same
B (chug)
And the only tattoos that I have are scars
E                       A     B/Eb
I got your name written on my heart
B                  A          B/Eb                      A       E
