Em No one can help you now D Am You ain't willing to learn, not then, not now Em You're goin' slow, not standing still D Am You're ripe upon your window sill You're going through what you're going through You're innocent 'til you know it's true You fill your glass and tip your cup It's just the price of growing up Chorus: G D/F# Am Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying C bare in front of me G D/F# Am C Waiting for a spark to kill the cold (Ah) Em D C Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed Sometimes you won't speak for days But nothing burns like hidden rage Not every scar is visible Walk gently in the time you fill Chorus: G D/F# Am Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying C bare in front of me G D/F# Am C Waiting for a spark to kill the cold (Ah) G D/F# Your past mistakes and tragedies Am C The reason you're mistrusting me G D/F# Am C Watching as it casually unfolds (Ah) Em D C But what goes on inside? We'll never know Em D C Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed Em If every day just followed a script D Am With all your love worked into it Em Would you ever feel warm enough D Am Or is it just the price of growing up? Chorus:: Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying bare in front of me Waiting for a spark to kill the cold Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying bare, disgusting me Watching as it casually unfolds (Ah) But what goes on inside, we'll never know (Ah) Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm C D Em F# G Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
