AbCan you see my scars? 
CmDressing up in broken armor
AbI'm trying not to fall apart
FmI think I am afraid to see
DbHow fragile we are 
FmLike life wEbhen it shattersDb  
FmLike hope wEbhen it matterBbs

I never found the words tCmo tell you
FmBefore I had the courage yGbou were gone
DbI can't see Cmpast itFm, I can't lEbet it goAb  Fm  
I hear you when the world is silent
You're coming through crystal clear
I hear you and I know you hear me
Somewhere, somewhere
Where the wall gives way to the water flowing 
Through the cracks and the veins 'til the path starts showing 
How fragile we are
CmIt was over before it started 
FmYou were gone before you came
EbI was lost before you found me 
FmNow I'm lost, I'm lost again

I think I am afraid to see

How fragile we are

Like hope when it matters

Db Cm Fm Eb Ab Fm

I can't see past it, I can't let it go

I hear you when the world is silent

You're coming through crystal clear

Somewhere, somewhere

Where the wall gives way to the water flowing

Through the cracks and the veins 'til the path starts showing

How fragile we are

It was over before it started

You were gone before you came

I was lost before you found me

Now I'm lost, I'm lost again
