VERSE 1:
D           Dmaj7
You wrote your name in invisible ink,
    Bm        A        D
For you were so afraid of what they might think.
    Em             A
But the scars they left, they were loud and clear,
    Em      A
Weren't they? Weren't they?

VERSE 2:
     D         Dmaj7
When it's too much to bare, memories erase.
    Bm        A      D
A disappearing act, deserving of our thanks.
    Em       A
When it surfaces, just hold your breath
  Em     A   Asus
And swim. Just swim.

VERSE 3:
  D           Dmaj7
You begged and begged for some kind of change:
   Bm             A     D
Maybe they'd wake up tomorrow and regret the pain
       Em           A
That they've passed down to you like DNA,
    Em   A    Asus
But no luck, no luck.

VERSE 4:
     D          Dmaj7
It seems only by the hand of God or death,
    Bm        A    D
Will they truly change their silhouettes.
   Em      A
For a miracle or a consequence,
  Em    A   Asus
You wait and wait?

INSTRUMENTAL:
D Dmaj7 Bm A D Em A Em A (2x)

VERSE 5:
   D        Dmaj7
Maybe distance is the only cure?
  Bm           A    D
Far away from hurt is where healing occurs.
      Em            A
But all you really want to do is make them proud,
   Em     A
Don't you? don't you?

VERSE 6:
    D               Dmaj7
It must be so hard, in the mess you're always cleaning up,
  Bm           A    D
To believe in the ghost of unbroken love.
   Em       A
But I promise you the truth is that
    Em    A
You're loved. So loved.
    Em    A    D
You're loved. So loved.
