Write your name upon me, Rebecca

           D                  G              C
Leave your mark in the old bark, like a love letter

           Em                D               G

Tried to cut me down

They will never truly heal, I can feel them

They will never truly heal, but I can seal them

          D            Em            F
They will never truly heal, but here I am

Trace your fingers along the scars where the cold, steel blade
