[Intro] | Am G | C | [Verse 1]
Am                                    G          C
I paint us a picture and we're doing honest and right

      Am                                 G             C
Then hang it up where it will be gently kissed by the light

           F                                      Am        G
But I'm drawn to distractions, I like where they lead me off to

         F                                       Am         G      Am
Where I reach for the reasons I'm searching for something to do
[Verse 2]
                                            G        C
I've reset the filter, there's little that gets to my head

        Am                          G                   C
And it sits where the station just hisses and crackles high end

       F                                    Am         G
Still, I've got this keg and some powder, enough to let go

           F                                           Am     G
When the sky starts to fill up with smoke, that's the way to my home

 G
Now you know
[Chorus]
C                  G                       Dm
 Saw the eyes get dark, and the words get hard

C                 G               Dm
 Never once been cut, 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 3]
                                         G       C
To be so close to perfect is to know it cannot be so

     Am                                 G      C
And so far from actually being out here all on our own

    F                                   Am            G
Instead where the missteps do not only haunt you, they hunt you down

            F                                   Am          G
And where those that protect you can no longer rescue and they cannot be found
[Chorus]
C                  G                       Dm
 Saw the eyes get dark, and the words get hard

C                 G               Dm
 Never once been cut, 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
[Guitar Solo] | C | G | Dm | Dm | 4x [Chorus]
C                  G                       Dm
 Saw the eyes get dark, and the words get hard

C                 G               Dm
 Never once been cut, 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
