but this is the closest you can get on the acoustic guitar without
spraining a finger.)

VERSE 1:
D MajorD           Dmaj7Dmaj7
You wrote your name in invisible ink,
    B minorBm        A augmentedA        D MajorD
For you were so afraid of what they might think.
    E minorEm             A augmentedA
But the scars they left, they were loud and clear,
    E minorEm      A augmentedA
Weren't they? Weren't they?

VERSE 2:
     D MajorD         Dmaj7Dmaj7
When it's too much to bare, memories erase.
    B minorBm        A augmentedA      D MajorD
A augmentedA disappearing act, deserving of our thanks.
    E minorEm       A augmentedA
When it surfaces, just hold your breath
  E minorEm     A augmentedA   AsusAsus
And swim. Just swim.

VERSE 3:
  D MajorD           Dmaj7Dmaj7
You begged and begged for some kind of change:
   B minorBm             A augmentedA     D MajorD
Maybe they'd wake up tomorrow and regret the pain
       E minorEm           A augmentedA
That they've passed down to you like DNA,
    E minorEm   A augmentedA    AsusAsus
But no luck, no luck.

VERSE 4:
     D MajorD          Dmaj7Dmaj7
It seems only by the hand of God or death,
    B minorBm        A augmentedA    D MajorD
Will they truly change their silhouettes.
   E minorEm      A augmentedA
For a miracle or a consequence,
  E minorEm    A augmentedA   AsusAsus
You wait and wait?

INSTRUMENTAL:
D MajorD Dmaj7Dmaj7 B minorBm A augmentedA D MajorD E minorEm A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA (2x)

VERSE 5:
   D MajorD        Dmaj7Dmaj7
Maybe distance is the only cure?
  B minorBm           A augmentedA    D MajorD
Far away from hurt is where healing occurs.
      E minorEm            A augmentedA
But all you really want to do is make them proud,
   E minorEm     A augmentedA
Don't you? don't you?

VERSE 6:
    D MajorD               Dmaj7Dmaj7
It must be so hard, in the mess you're always cleaning up,
  B minorBm           A augmentedA    D MajorD
To believe in the ghost of unbroken love.
   E minorEm       A augmentedA
But I promise you the truth is that
    E minorEm    A augmentedA
You're loved. So loved.
    E minorEm    A augmentedA    D MajorD
You're loved. So loved.
