She holds for dear life to the ends of the sleeves in her hands 
E                               B                  Abm            A 
Covering up lies that she wrote with a razor sharp pen 
A                                       B               
And the sting of the blade is no match for the pain  
Abm             C#m          F#m 
of the loneliness she's going through 
A                       B

You can still see the mark on his hand were there once was a ring 
E                                       B                  Abm             A 
He watched decades of history dissolve when she wanted to leave 
A                               B               
And the hole that it left there inside of his chest 
Abm             C#m            F#m 
Is a canyon a thousand miles deep 
A                        B 
And we all know how that feels...

There once was a king who so burdened with grief 
A                               B 
Walked into death so that we could find peace 
Ab/A                          C#m 
He rose up with scars on his hands and his feet 

A               E      B 
And by them we are healed 
A       E      B 
By them we are healed 

A                       E              B
