[Pre-Chorus]
C
Let go of all the emotion
Em                    D
Cutting you open
Em
Stop throwing salt to your wounds
C
Take a second and breathe
Em
That might be all that you need
D
Don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know it?

[Chorus]
C
We all got scars
Em
We all get hurt sometimes
D
We all got scars
Em
Yours are the same as mine
C
We fall apart
Em
We all get hurt sometimes
D
We all got scars. Yours are the same as mine

[Verse 2]
C                                                        Em
Your scars are there to show you that you’re human
D                                                        Em
Even when you wish they’d wash away
C                                                        Em
I can feel you must be going through it
D                                                        Em
It’s like nobody understands your pain

[Pre-Chorus]
C
Let go of all the emotion
Em                    D
Cutting you open
Em
Stop throwing salt to your wounds
C
Take a second and breathe
Em
That might be all that you need
D
Don’t you know, don’t you know, don’t you know it?

We all got scars
Em
We all get hurt sometimes

We all got scars

Yours are the same as mine

We all get hurt sometimes

Yours are the same as mine

[Verse 3]
C
Your scars are there to show yourself
Em
You survived the pain you’ve felt
D
Underneath it all
Em
You know who you are
C
And they might never go away
Em
But fade a little every day
D
Underneath it all
Em
You know who you are

[Chorus]
C
We all got scars
Em
We all get hurt sometimes

We all got scars
Em
Yours are the same as mine

We all got scars. Yours are the same as mine
