Switchfoot – Where The Light Shines Through (Guitar)

B
When you're feeling like an astronaut

E
Stuck on a planet even time forgot, and

B                                                   A   E
You're a version of yourself, but you're not the same

B
You try to keep the wound camouflaged, and

E
The stitches heal, but the years are lost, and

B                                            A   E
Another bottle on the shelf can't numb the pain

C#m
Why you running from yourself now?

F#
You can't run away

       B                     E
'cause your scars shine like dark stars

           B                              A          E
Yeah, your wounds are where the light shines through

         B                 E
So let's go there, to that place where

              F#m                                E
We sing these broken prayers where the light shines through

                                  B          A
The wound is where the light shines through

           E                            B          A   E
Yeah, the wound is where the light shines through

B
Ain't we all just Abraham's son?

E
Saint and sinner with the song and drum, and

B                                               A   E
We're falling on our knees, we all bleed the same

        B
And the only tattoos that I have are scars

E
I got your name written on my heart

        B                                                   A   E
And the story that brought us here ain't the thing that changed, no

C#m
I wanna see that light shining

F#
Brighter than the pain

       B                       E
'cause your scars shine like a dark star

           B                              A          E
Yeah, your wounds are where the light shines through

D                                     A

C                                G            B C C#
Mama, ain't the wound just retribution?

D                                           F#   E
Well Mama, ain't the scar like a vision of grace?
