Key: Em

🎸 Intro: 

 Em  | D    Am  : 2x




🎸 Verse 1:
Em
 No one can help you now
           D                         Am
You ain't willing to learn, not then, not now
Em
 You're goin' slow, not standing still
        D              Am
You're ripe upon your window sill
Em
 You're going through what you're going through
       D                  Am
You're innocent  til you know it's true
Em
 You fill your glass and tip your cup
      D                  Am
It's just the price of growing up

🎸 Chorus: 
      G                  Em           Am              C
Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying bare in front of me
 G              Em               Am   C
Waiting for a spark to kill the cold    (Ah)
      Em                 D          Csus2
Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed


🎸 Instrumental: 
 Em  | D    Am  :


🎸 Verse 2:
Em
 Sometimes you won't speak for days
     D                  Am
But nothing burns like hidden rage
Em
 Not every scar is visible
      D             Am
Walk gently in the time you fill



🎸 Chorus: 
      G                  Em           Am              C
Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying bare in front of me
 G              Em               Am   C
Waiting for a spark to kill the cold    (Ah)
      G                  Em
Your past mistakes and tragedies
     Am                C
The reason you're mistrusting me
 G              Em         Am    C
Watching as it casually unfolds    (Ah)
      Em            D                  C
But what goes on inside? We'll never know
      Em                 D          Csus2
Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed


🎸 Instrumental: 
 Em  | D    Am  : 2x


🎸 Bridge: 
Em
 If every day just followed a script
     D                    Am
With all your love worked into it
Em
 Would you ever feel warm enough
          D                  Am
Or is it just the price of growing up?



🎸 Chorus: 
      G                  Em           Am              C
Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying bare in front of me
 G              Em               Am   C
Waiting for a spark to kill the cold    (Ah)
      G                  Em
Your past mistakes and tragedies
     Am                C
The reason you're mistrusting me
 G              Em         Am    C
Watching as it casually unfolds    (Ah)
      Em            D                  C
But what goes on inside, we'll never know  (Ah)
      Em                 D          Csus2
Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed
