D
You don't have any secrets when you come into the world
Em7 G
You're open like a book and the pages get filled
D
The leaves keep turning and on every single page
Em7 G
They write their story with the marks on you face
D
Marks on your face
D
Locked in your head, an unbreakable code
Em7 G
A secret never spoken, is a story never told
D
Gonna show you the back of my hand, they say
Em7 G
You can hide those scars, but they hurt you every day
D Em7 G
They hurt you every day
D Em7 G
They hurt you every day

D
Water is holy, when it falls from the sky
Em7 G
Water tastes bitter, when it falls from your eyes
D
Lay down on the ground and look up at the sky
Em7 G
There's no rhyme or reason, when you're watching time fly
D Em7 G
Watching time fly
D
When the stars come out, the night is alive
Em7 G
Connect those stars with the lines of your life
D
With the lines on your hand, with the words that you write
Em7 G
One true word's gonna beat a pack of lies
D Em7 G
Beat a pack of lies
D Em7 G
Beat a pack of lies
