The Wound Is Where the Light Gets In Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
I was halfway up [D]the mountain when
[G]the rocks I held gave [D]way
I came tumbling like an avalanche
to the [G]bottom where I [A]lay[Asus4]
[A]And with the [Bm]taste of blood and the [D]twist
of bone my healing could be[G]gin
'Cause the [D]wound is [A]where the light,
the [D]wound is where [G]the light
The [Bm]wound is where [A]the light gets in
[D]

[Verse 2]
I have stood there like a hostage
with a [G]knife held to [D]my vein
Captive to the poison that [G]I took
to numb [A]the pain
'Cause [Bm]everybody [D]wishes they
were born with thicker [G]skin
But the [D]wound is where [A]the light,
the [D]wound is where [G]the light
The [Bm]wound is where [A]the light gets [D]in

[Verse 3]
It's [G]tricky how the heart works
When the break ups and the big jerks
[D]Make us never wanna hurt
that way again
[G]Maybe I'm naive
But in [Em]very scar I see
The [D]place where love is
trying to break [A]in
'Cause [D]the wound is where [Asus4]the light [D]gets

[Interlude 1]
in
[G][Bm][D][G]
[Bm][D][G][A][Asus4]
You can [D]recognize a saint

[Verse 4]
[G]by the scars
they don't dis[D]guise
You can pick a real sinner by the
[G]kindness in their [A]eyes
So [Bm]if you're stumbling i[D]n the dark
and bleeding at [G]the shin
Remember the [D]wound is where [A]the light,
the [D]wound is where [G]the light
The [Bm]wound is where [A]the light gets [D]in

[Verse 5]
The [D]wound is where [A]the light,
the [D]wound is where [G]the light
[Bm]The wound is where [A]the light gets in
