Intro:
[Am7] [C] [F] [F]
Verse 1:
You [Am7]never know a good thing 'til it [C]passes
'Til it [F]lights you up and leaves you in its [G]ashes
It's always [Am7]hiding money underneath the [C]mattress for a rainy [F]day [G]
And I [Am7]wish that I could find a way to [C]slow down
Help the [F]kid I used to know maybe find his way back [G]out
All the [Am7]callous of the world has dragged his soul [C]down
But who is [F]to blame?
Chorus:
I wanna [Am7]sing all the words of a [C]sinner
I wanna [F]live by the words of a saint
Give all my [G]love to the world like my [Am7]mother
Finding the [F]pleasure in the pain
I want the [Am7]devil to yell on my [C]shoulder
I want the [F]angel to call him insane
I wanna [G]look at myself in the [Am7]mirror
Proud of my [F]bruises and my stains
Verse 2:
And I'm [Am7]trying to make friends with all the [C]anger
So I [F]go outside 'cause maybe I could walk off all the [G]hurt
You know pale skin always tans after a [Am7]sunburn
So [Dm7]life is goo[F]good
Chorus:
I wanna [Am7]sing all the words of a [C]sinner
I wanna [F]live by the words of a saint
[C]Give all my [G]love to the world like my [Am7]mother
Finding the [F]pleasure in the pain
I want the [Am7]devil to yell on my [C]shoulder
I want the [F]angel to call him insane
I wanna [G]look at myself in the [Am7]mirror
Proud of my [F]bruises and my stains
Post-Chorus:
Mm, mm-mm[G]mm-mm
[Am]Oh, Proud of my [F]bruises and my stains
Outro:
-[G]-Oh-oh, oh-oh-[Am7]oh-oh-oh- oh-oh, [F]oh-oh
[G]Maybe I'm not, [Am]not what you [C]want me to [F]be -oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-
[G]Maybe there's more to the [Am7]story that [Dm7]you'll never [F]see -oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-
I'll never [G]run with the sinners[Am]sinners, and I'm no [F]saint -oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-
[G]I gotta learn how to [Am]live with my [Dm7]bruises and [F]stains -oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-
Oh, [G]I gotta learn how to [Am]live with my [C]bruises and [F]stains
[G]I gotta learn how to [Am]live with my bruises and [F]stains
