[G][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]When you're feeling
like an astronaut
[C]Stuck on [G]a planet
even [C]time forgot, and
[G]You're a version of yourself,
but you're not the same
[F]You[C] tr[G]y to keep
the wound camouflaged, and
[C]The stitches hea[G]l,
but the [C]years are lost, and
[G]Another bottle on the shelf

[Verse 2]
can't numb the pain
[F]Why[C]'re[Am] you running
from yourself now?
[D]You can't run away

[Verse 3]
'Cause [G]your scars shine
like [C]dark stars
Yeah, your [G]wounds are where
the light [F]shines through
[C]So let's go [G]there,
to that [C]place where
We sing these [Dm]broken prayers
where the light [C]shines through--
The wound is where
the light [G]shines through
[F]Yeah, the[C] wound is where
the light [G]shines through

[Verse 4]
[F]Ain[C]'t [G]we all just Abraham's son?
[C]Saint and sinner with [G]the
[C]song and drum, and
[G]We're fallen on our knees,
we all bleed the same
[F]And[C] th[G]e only
tattoos I have are scars
[C]I got your name written o[G]n my heart
[C]And the[G] story that brought us here
ain't the thing [Am]that changed, [C]no[Am]

[Verse 5]
I wanna see that light shining
[D]Brighter than the pain

[Verse 6]
'Cause [G]your scars shine
like [C]a dark star
Yeah, your [G]wounds are where
the light [F]shines through
[C]So let's go [G]there,
to that [C]place where
We sing these [Dm]broken prayers
where the light [C]shines through
The wound is where
the light [G]shines [Am]through

[Verse 7]
[Bb]Mama, ain't the blood
just proof I'm [F]human?
[Ab]Mama, ain't the
wound just retribution?
[Eb]Well[Bb] Mama, ain't the scar

[Verse 8]
like a vision of grace?
[D]The[G][F][C][G]
[F]wou[G]nd is where
the light shines [C]through
The wound is where
the light finds [G]you
The wound is where
the light shines [C]through
The wound is where
the light finds [G]you
Your scars shine like [C]dark stars
Yeah, [G]the wound is where
the light shines [C]through
It's where the light [G]shines through
[F]Yeah, yea[C]h, it's where
the light [G]shines through
[F]Yeah, the[C] only time to
[G]our heart, [F]oh [C]oh
It's where the light [G]shines through
[F]Where the light shines,
[C]where the[G] light shines through
Where the light [G]shines [F]tho[C]ugh
It's where the light shines through
