Battle Wounds
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
G A Bm
Seems like every time I pick myself up
The earth quakes
A
The ground shakes I fall on my face
G A Bm
I've been stuck in this place and now I have to choose
A
Throw up my white flag or find a way to move
G
But my feet are stuck in wet cement
A
And I can feel it drying quick
Bm A
If I don’t get up out this pit, I fear it might be permanent
G
Let's face the truth
A Bm
I haven't given all to you
I still need you to heal these wounds
A
And I ask myself
G A
How is it fair of me to only give you half my heart
Bm A
And then pretend like itâs your fault that I am incomplete
G A
Cause I'm so bitter and selfish but I want more of you
Bm A
So I'll just have to find a way to give you all of me
[Chorus]
G A
I want you to have all my heart
Bm
Every open wound
D
Every nasty scar
G
And if I wind up broken in the process
A
It's Such a small price to pay
Bm D A
I trade all I am for all you are
G A
I want you to have all my heart
Bm
Every open wound
D
Every nasty scar
G
And if I wind up broken in the process
A
It's Such a small price to pay
Bm D A
I trade all I am for all you are
These are my battle wounds
[Verse 2]
G
From day one I was broken
I was hurt but it was never spoken
Bm
I was crushed by my peers
Year after year
No one could interpret all of my fears
D
No one was there for me
I said no one was there for me!
A
While the world came with identity
Convincing me who I should be, Yeah!
G
And I believed it
Every insult I received it, yeah
Bm
And no one said a word to help
Nor saw my desperate cry for help
D
Mom and dad you brushed it off like I
Wasn't crying every night
A
And in my heart increasing spite
Loss of trust with every fight
G
I said I hated you
And though I said it wasn't true
Bm
That lack of trust has followed through
Even though I've forgiven you!
D
The colorful scapes that made up my mind,
had instantly been turned to gray
A
And though I said that I'm okay
I haven‘t felt loved since that day
G
When will brokenness subside
Cause in brokenness I abide
Bm
Every battle wound I find, I hide
Cause when I look I just can’t help but cry
D
My bitter heart seems out of place
When I can't seem to bring forth my grace
D
It’s been years since I've had a taste
Of peace in this chaotic space
