Tattoos

Verse 1
C            G
Used to pull down my sleeves,
Am          Em
Used to put make-up on
C           G
So everyone would think
    Am       Em
I'm fine and nothing's wrong
  C              G
I buried all the pain,
Am           Em
Used to feel so ashamed
C          G              Am
Of all the things I wrote about myself
     F
with razor blades
C          G
But I kept holding on,
Am         F
until the final page
C           G
Survive the story
           Am             F
'cause the ending changes everything

Chorus
        C         G          D       Am
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos
            C       G
Because I'm so damn proud
             D      Am
of what they put me through
   C         G      D           Am
I learned without a doubt every mark that
C              G
Makes you feel worthless,
    D          Am
can give you a purpose
        C         G          D        Am
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos
             C   G
'Cause I'm a miracle,
      D      Am
every cut is proof
C       G       D              Am
Another chapter written in the story
C             G
What couldn't kill me
     D            Am
made me something so brave
C          G       D
I wear 'em like tattoos

Verse 2
    C        G
I've held my story down,
 Am            Em
I've swallowed every scream
 C           G
Thought if I wasn't fake,
       Am          Em
they'd think that I'm a freak
  C              G
I buried all the pain,
 Am          Em
Used to feel so ashamed
C       G
Until I learned
               Am
that you can't change the past,
     F
just choose the frame
C            G
So I'll keep writing songs
Am         Em
until they know my name
C                G
'Cause there's a kid out there
       Am                  F
that's hearing this that's in that place!

Chorus
        C         G          D       Am
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos
            C       G
Because I'm so damn proud
             D      Am
of what they put me through
   C         G      D           Am
I learned without a doubt every mark that
C              G
Makes you feel worthless,
    D          Am
can give you a purpose
        C         G          D        Am
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos
             C   G
'Cause I'm a miracle,
      D      Am
every cut is proof
C       G       D              Am
Another chapter written in the story
C             G
What couldn't kill me
     D            Am
made me something so brave
C          G       D
I wear 'em like tattoos


Bridge
C       G           D      Am
No more dysmorphia, I will not grieve
    C                 G      D     Am
The darkest days that made a masterpiece
  C         G              D        Am
I choose to celebrate what made me, 'me'
         C        G
'Cause a heart of gold,
    D             Am
no, it don't come cheap
         C        G
And this heart of gold,
        D          Am
one the world will need!

Chorus
        C         G          D       Am
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos
            C       G
Because I'm so damn proud
             D      Am
of what they put me through
   C         G      D           Am
I learned without a doubt every mark that
C              G
Makes you feel worthless,
    D          Am
can give you a purpose
        C         G          D        Am
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos
             C   G
'Cause I'm a miracle,
      D      Am
every cut is proof
C       G       D              Am
Another chapter written in the story
C             G
What couldn't kill me
     D            Am
made me something so brave
C          G       D
I wear 'em like tattoos
