Artist : James Bay
Song   : Scars
                            2015
Album  : Chaos and the Calm 
Tuning : DGCFAD
[Intro]
G    C   Em   C
[Verse]
G
You're setting off, it's time to go, the engine's running
C
My mind's lost, we always knew this day was coming
Em                                                   C
And now it's more fright'ning than it's ever gonna be
G
We grow apart, I watch you on a red horizon
C
Your lion's heart, will protect you under stormy skies
Em                                                            C
And I will always be listening for your laughter and your tears
[Pre-Chorus]
D
And as soon as I can hold you once again
                          C
I won't let go of you, I swear
[Chorus]
G
We live through scars this time
C
But I've made up my mind
D                    C
We can't leave us behind
    G
Anymore
[Verse]
G
Your hands are cold, your lips are turning blue, you're shaking
C
This fragile heart, so heavy in my chest, is breaking
Em                                                    C
And in the dark, you try to make a pay phone call to me
G
But you're miles away, your breaking up, you're on your own
C
It's hard to take, I need an hour just to say hello
Em                                                      C
And I can't make the truth of this work out for you or me
[Pre-Chorus]
D
And for all the pennies in your pocket
                                  C
We barely get a second just to speak
[Chorus]
G
We live through scars this time
C
But I've made up my mind
D                    C
We can't leave us behind
    G
Anymore
G
We'll have to hurt for now
C
But next time, there's no doubt
      D                   C
Cause I can't go without you
G
Anymore
