(Verse 1)
[D]I was half way up the mountain when the [G]rocks I held gave [D]way
Came tumbling like an avalanche, to the [G]bottom wher I [A]lay
Now with the [Bm]taste of blood and [D]twist of bone
My healing could be[G]gin
(Chorus)
'Cause the [D]wound is where the [A]light, The [D]wound is where the [G]light
The [Bm]wound is where the [A]light gets [D]in
(Verse 2)
[D]I've stood here like a hostage with a [G]knife held to my[D] vain
Held captive to the poison that I [G]took to numb the [A]pain
'Cause [Bm]everybody [D]wishes they were born with thicker [G]skin
(Bridge)
It's [G]trickey how the heart works
When the break ups and the big jecks
Make [D]never want to hurt that way again
[G]Maybe I'm naive but in [Em]every scare I see
A [D]place where love is trying to break [A]in
'Cause the [D]wound is where the [A]light
(Verse 3)
[D]You can recognise a saint by the [G]scares they don't dis[D]guise
You can pick out a real sinner by the [G]kindness in their [A]eyes
So [Bm]if you're stumbling [D]in the dark and bleeding at the ([G]shin?)
Remember
