(Note: Technically, each chord consists of four notes on the ukulele,
but this is the closest you can get on the acoustic guitar without
spraining a finger.)

VERSE 1:
D                      Dmaj7
You wrote your name in invisible ink,
        Bm                A               D
For you were so afraid of what they might think.
        Em                         A
But the scars they left, they were loud and clear,
        Em            A
Weren't they? Weren't they?

VERSE 2:
          D                 Dmaj7
When it's too much to bare, memories erase.
        Bm               A           D
A disappearing act, deserving of our thanks.
        Em             A
When it surfaces, just hold your breath
    Em         A     Asus
And swim. Just swim.

VERSE 3:
    D                     Dmaj7
You begged and begged for some kind of change:
      Bm                          A          D
Maybe they'd wake up tomorrow and regret the pain
             Em                      A
That they've passed down to you like DNA,
       Em     A       Asus
But no luck, no luck.

VERSE 4:
         D                   Dmaj7
It seems only by the hand of God or death,
        Bm                A        D
Will they truly change their silhouettes.
      Em           A
For a miracle or a consequence,
    Em       A      Asus
You wait and wait?

INSTRUMENTAL:
D  Dmaj7  Bm  A  D  Em  A  Em  A  (2x)

VERSE 5:
      D               Dmaj7
Maybe distance is the only cure?
    Bm                      A       D
Far away from hurt is where healing occurs.
            Em                        A
But all you really want to do is make them proud,
      Em         A
Don't you? don't you?

VERSE 6:
        D                              Dmaj7
It must be so hard, in the mess you're always cleaning up,
   Bm                      A        D
To believe in the ghost of unbroken love.
      Em              A
But I promise you the truth is that
       Em        A
You're loved. So loved.
       Em        A        D
You're loved. So loved.
