Scars Chords by Alkaline Trio

[Intro]

  Am   G   
  C   
 
 
[Verse]

Am                        
I paint us a picture and 
             G          C
we're doing honest and right
      Am                        
Then hang it up where it will be 
        G             C
gently kissed by the light
           F                    
But I'm drawn to distractions, 
                   Am       G
I like where they lead me off to
         F                                  
Where I reach for the reasons 

I'm searching 
     Am         G   Am
for something to do
 
 
[Verse]

                        
I've reset the filter, 
                     G        C
there's little that gets to my head
        Am                          G   
And it sits where the station just hisses 
              C
and crackles high end
       F                                 
Still, I've got this keg 

and some powder, 
  Am          G
enough to let go
           F                              
When the sky starts to 

fill up with smoke, 
            Am         G
that's the way to my home
 G
Now you know
 
 
[Chorus]

C                  G   
 Saw the eyes get dark, 
                   Dm
and the words get hard
C                 G  
 Never once been cut, 
           Dm
but I see scars 
 F                      Am
We all wear ours on the outside

(We all have them)
      G
Where everyone can see 

(We all have these scars)
F                Am
 Hiding out in plain sight 

(We all have thorns)
   G                 Am
Buried under these scars
 
 
[Verse]

                             
To be so close to perfect is 
            G         C
to know it cannot be so
     Am                                 
And so far from actually being out here 
G      C
all on our own
    F                             
Instead where the missteps do not 
      Am 
only haunt you, 
    G
they hunt you down  
            F                       
And where those that protect you can 
           Am 
no longer rescue 
      G
and they cannot be found   
 
 
[Chorus]

C                  G  
 Saw the eyes get dark, 
                   Dm
and the words get hard
C                 G   
 Never once been cut, 
           Dm
but I see scars 
 F                      Am
We all wear ours on the outside 

(We all have them)
      G
Where everyone can see 

(We all have these scars)
F                Am
 Hiding out in plain sight 

(We all have thorns)
   G
Buried under these
 
 
[Solo]

  C    G   
  Dm    Dm   
  
  C     G 
  Dm   Dm    x2
 
[Chorus]

C                  G    
 Saw the eyes get dark, 
                   Dm
and the words get hard 
C                 G  
 Never once been cut, 
            Dm
but I see scars
 F                      Am
We all wear ours on the outside

 (We all have them)
      G
Where everyone can see

 (We all have these scars)
F                Am
 Hiding out in plain sight

 (We all have thorns)
   G                Am
Buried under these
