[B]You try to keep the wound [A]camou[B/Eb]flaged, and

[B/F#]We're falling on our [A/E]knees, we all [B/Eb]bleed the [A]same[E]
B (chug)
And the only tattoos that I have are scars
[E]I got your name written [A]on my [B/Eb]heart
[B]And the story that [A]brought us [B/Eb]here ain't the thing that [A]changed,[E] no
- End verse/chorus riff -
