    D
You don't have any secrets when you come into the world
       Em7                      G
You're open like a book and the pages get filled
    D
The leaves keep turning and on every single page
     Em7                        G
They write their story with the marks on you face
D

Marks on your face


D
Locked in your head, an unbreakable code
  Em7                       G
A secret never spoken, is a story never told
      D
Gonna show you the back of my hand, they say
        Em7                        G
You can hide those scars, but they hurt you every day
     D                   Em7 G
They hurt you every day
     D                 Em7 G
They hurt you every day

D
Water is holy, when it falls from the sky
Em7                          G
Water tastes bitter, when it falls from your eyes
    D
Lay down on the ground and look up at the sky
           Em7                          G
There's no rhyme or reason, when you're watching time fly
D                  Em7 G
Watching time fly


         D
When the stars come out, the night is alive
   Em7                       G
Connect those stars with the lines of your life
         D
With the lines on your hand, with the words that you write
Em7                   G
One true word's gonna beat a pack of lies
D                    Em7 G
Beat a pack of lies
D                    Em7 G
Beat a pack of lies
