         F               C
If I had only known the last time
              A#
would be the last time
              F                C             A#
I would have put off all the things I had to do
              Dm             Csus4
I would have stayed a little longer,
     A#           F/A
held on a little tighter
     A#               Csus4              F C Gm7
Now what I'd give for one more day with you

                  F                C
'Cause there's a wound here in my heart
                   A#
where something's missing
          F                 C               A#
And they tell me that it's gonna heal with time
       Dm              Csus4
And I know you're in a place
                A#                F/A
where all your wounds have been erased
      A#               Csus4              F
And knowing yours are healed is healing mine

Chorus:
                   A#
The only scars in Heaven,
                             F Fsus4 F
They won't belong to me and you
                             Csus4  A#
There'll be no such thing as broken
                              F
And all the old will be made new
                                A#
And the thought that makes me smile now
                       Dm
Even as the tears fall down
                           Gm7 F/A A#
Is that the only scars in Heaven
                                F C Gm7
Are on the Hands that hold you now

I know the road you walked was anything but easy
You picked up your share of scars along the way
But now you're standing in the sun,
You've fought your fight - and your race is run
The pain is all a million miles away

Chorus

       A#              F/A
Ha-lle-lu-jah, Ha-lle-lu-jah
       A#                                   F
Ha-lle-lu-jah, for the hands that hold you now

There's not a day goes by that I don't see you
You live on in all the better parts of me
Until I'm standing with you in the sun,
I'll fight this fight and this race I'll run
Until I finally see what you can see, oh-oh

Chorus:
The only scars in Heaven,
they won't belong to me and you
There'll be no such thing as broken
and all the old will be made new
And the thought that makes me smile
now even as the tears fall down
Is that the only scars in Heaven are on
the Hands that hold you now
