[Intro]
D# Dm D# Dm
 
[Verse 1]
D#                   Dm
   We've been here before
D#                   Dm
   Veterans of our fathers' wars
D#                     Dm
   All have felt like this
         D#            Dm
Broken pieces hard to fix
 
[Pre-chorus 1]
        D#
But my heart keeps beating
         Dm
To this rhythm I'm hearing
        F
Like a drum, pounds in my chest like
D#/G
    Pum-padum-padum
       D#
Now I know the meaning
        Dm
Of this hurt not healing
       F
Now I know
      D#/G
Now I know
 
[Chorus 1]
D#                Dm
  Easy come, easy go,
D#
  Some things fix fast,
        Dm
  Some painfully slow
          D#
Does it really matter when
          Dm
There has got to be a plan
      D#            Dm
Never has to be the end
     D#            Dm
So broken pieces remind me
D#                           Dm
  That what tries to hurt me simply defines me oh
D#                        Dm
  Understand, things get better they can,
        D#                Dm
Battle scars only make me who I am
 
[Verse 2]
D#                  Dm
  We've been here before
D#                  Dm
  Wins and losses, keeping score
             D#
Scared of opening upon fear of what comes in
     Dm
Not sure what really matters
                         D#
What's to be what's been
                      Dm
Broken pieces hard to fix
 
[Pre-chorus 2]
       D#
But I have my battle scars
    Dm
My feet have taken me this far
          F
And that drum pounds in my chest like,
D#/G
    Pum-padum-padum
        D#                     Dm
This familiar feeling is what keeps me going
       D#
Now I know
       F
Now I know
 
[Chorus]
D#                Dm
  Easy come, easy go
D#
  Some things fix fast,
       Dm
Some painfully slow
         D#
Does it really matter when
          Dm
There has got to be a plan
      D#            Dm
Never has to be the end
D#                         Dm
  There will be thins that harm me
D#                            Dm
  They will leave scars that forever mark me
   D#
I will run and keep faith
     Dm
Won't be blinded by hate
     D#
Eyes on tomorrow
               Dm
Not the sorrow of yesterday
 
[Outro]
D#                 Dm
Oh we have battle scars,
D#                       Dm  F
Reminds us of our broken parts
D#               Dm
Oh we have war wounds,
D#                             Dm
Reminds us what we've lost so soon
D#                 Dm
Oh we have battle scars,
D#                       Dm   F
Reminds us of our broken hearts
D#               Dm
Oh we have war wounds,
D#                             Dm
Reminds us what we've lost so soon
D#                 Dm
Oh we have battle scars,
D#                       Dm   F
Reminds us of our broken parts
D#               F
Oh we have war wounds,
D#
Reminds us what we've lost so soon...
