THIS IS THE CHORD PROGRESSION OF SCARS BY SAM SMITH ON PIANO, GUITAR, UKULELE AND KEYBOARD.
[Verse 1]
Cadd4
This is for my mother
C
From the older brother of your children, made of three
Cadd4
Now you found your lover
C
‘Cause it wasn’t our father who made you laugh and happy
Cadd4
It’s been a long five years
C
I’ve cried a thousand tears, and here we are after the war
Cadd4
But we’re so much better
C
Now the skies are clearer, now there’s no more slamming doors
[Chorus]
N.C.
Now, I say
F C
Dear Mother, how you’ve come so far
G Am
Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
F C
I hope you’re proud, Mother, of what you’ve done
G Am
It’s a lifelong lesson and I’m not pretending when I say
E G Am
You cleared up my scars
E G Am
You cleared up my scars
[Verse 2]
Cadd4
This is for my father
C
From the older brother of your children made of three
Cadd4
Yeah, you’ve been so good to us
C
And showed us how to live and taught us to be free
Cadd4
But when Mother told you
C
That she didn’t love you, all these bridges hit the sea
Cadd4
So you built another one
C
And helped us cross it, even though you were in need
[Chorus]
N.C.
Now, I say
F C
Dear Father, how you’ve come so far
G Am
Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
F C
I hope you’re proud, Father, of what you’ve done
G Am
It’s a lifelong lesson and I’m not pretending when I say
E G Am
You cleared up my scars
E G Am
You cleared up my scars
E G Am
You cleared up my scars
E G Am
You cleared up my scars
[Outro]
F C
Dear Mother, how you’ve come so far
G Am
Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
F C
I hope you’re proud, Mother, of what you’ve done
G Am
It’s a lifelong lesson and I’m not pretending when I say
N.C.
You cleared up my scars
