Capo 2

C                              Am 
I can tell you've lived by the marks on your skin 
F                             C 
These are like the pages of a book 
                                  Am 
The lines beside your eyes let me know that you have smiled 
  F                       C 
A little more than I ever could 

C 
And I know that you can't sleep at night 
        Am 
For the hollow bumps beneath your eyes 
F                              C 
Tell me more than stories ever could 

C 
You are not an etch-a-sketch 
      Am 
These marks engraved upon your flesh 
F                        C 
Are indeed what makes me love you 

    G      Am 
And I want to 

                C 
Read you like a book so 
              G 
Let me take a look inside 
            Am 
Your little head 
                 F               C 
'Cause you don't need to be re - written 
                  G 
If you could only listen 
                 Am 
I would tell you this 
          F          C 
You don't need to be fixed 

C 
One thing that I know 
       Am 
When a heart is always closed 
F 
No-one can get in 
          C 
They just get out 

C 
So here I am stuck in between 
Am 
Won't you hold me close and see 
F                              C 
I will heal you if you show me how 

G          Am 
And I want to 

                C 
Read you like a book so 
              G 
Let me take a look inside 
            Am 
Your little head 
                 F               C 
'Cause you don't need to be re - written 
                  G 
If you could only listen 
                 Am 
I would tell you this 
          F          C 
You don't need to be fixed 

C                    Am 
And I wish you would notice  
                      F                 Am 
I would never let you go (never let you go) 
C          Am 
And I wish I could show you 
             F 
It's okay to take it slow 

C               G 
Read you like a book so 
Let me take a look inside 
            Am 
Your little head 
                 F               C 
'Cause you don't need to be re - written 
If you could only listen 
G       Am 
I would tell you this 
          F          C 
You don't need to be fixed (2x)
