Citizen Soldier – Tattoos (Guitar)

F                          Gm                    Dm
Used to pull down my sleeves, used to put makeup on

F                     Gm                        Dm
So everyone would think I'm fine and nothing's wrong

Bb                   Dm
I buried all the pain, used to feel so ashamed

C
Of all the things I wrote about myself with razor blades

Bb                   Dm
But I kept holding on, until the final page

C
Survive the story ‘cause the ending changes everything

          Dm                 Bb
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos

            F                          C
Because I'm so damn proud of what they put me through

                 Dm                Bb
I've learned without a doubt every mark that

               F                         C
Makes you feel worthless, can give you a purpose

          Dm                 Bb
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos

             F              C
'Cause I'm a miracle, every cut is proof

        Dm                     Bb
Another chapter written in the story

              F                         C
What couldn't kill me made me something so brave

                    F*
I wear them like tattoos

F                     Gm                      Dm
I've held my story down, I've swallowed every scream

F                      Gm                        Dm
Thought if I wasn't fake they’d think that I'm a freak

Bb                   Dm
I buried all the pain, used to feel so ashamed

C
Until I learned that you can't change the past, just choose the frame

Dm                        Bb
So I'll keep writing songs until they know my name

C
'Cause there's a kid out there that's hearing this that’s in that place

          Dm                 Bb
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos

            F                          C
Because I'm so damn proud of what they put me through

                 Dm                Bb
I've learned without a doubt every mark that

               F                         C
Makes you feel worthless, can give you a purpose

          Dm                 Bb
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos

             F              C
'Cause I'm a miracle, every cut is proof

        Dm                     Bb

              F                         C
What couldn't kill me made me something so brave

                    F*
I wear them like tattoos

F
No more dysmorphia, I will not grieve

C
The darkest days that made a masterpiece

Dm
I choose to celebrate what made me me

Bb
'Cause a heart of gold, no it don't come cheap

C                                                               C
And this heart of gold's one the world will need

          Dm                 Bb
And now I wear my scars just like tattoos

            F                          C
Because I'm so damn proud of what they put me through
