[Intro] | Em | D Am | 2x [Verse 1]
Em
 No one can help you now

           D                         Am
You ain't willing to learn, not then, not now

Em
 You're goin' slow, not standing still

        D              Am
You're ripe upon your window sill

Em
 You're going through what you're going through

       D                  Am
You're innocent  til you know it's true

Em
 You fill your glass and tip your cup

      D                  Am
It's just the price of growing up
[Chorus]
      G                  Em           Am              C
Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying bare in front of me

 G              Em               Am   C
Waiting for a spark to kill the cold    (Ah)

      Em                 D          Csus2
Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed
[Instrumental] | Em | D Am | [Verse 2]
Em
 Sometimes you won't speak for days

     D                  Am
But nothing burns like hidden rage

Em
 Not every scar is visible

      D             Am
Walk gently in the time you fill
[Chorus]
      G                  Em           Am              C
Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying bare in front of me

 G              Em               Am   C
Waiting for a spark to kill the cold    (Ah)

      G                  Em
Your past mistakes and tragedies

     Am                C
The reason you're mistrusting me

 G              Em         Am    C
Watching as it casually unfolds    (Ah)

      Em            D                  C
But what goes on inside? We'll never know

      Em                 D          Csus2
Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed
[Instrumental] | Em | D Am | 2x [Bridge]
Em
 If every day just followed a script

     D                    Am
With all your love worked into it

Em
 Would you ever feel warm enough

          D                  Am
Or is it just the price of growing up?
[Chorus]
      G                  Em           Am              C
Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying bare in front of me

 G              Em               Am   C
Waiting for a spark to kill the cold    (Ah)

      G                  Em
Your past mistakes and tragedies

     Am                C
The reason you're mistrusting me

 G              Em         Am    C
Watching as it casually unfolds    (Ah)

      Em            D                  C
But what goes on inside, we'll never know  (Ah)

      Em                 D          Csus2
Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed
