D G D
I was half way up the mountain when the rocks I held gave way
G A
I came tumbling like an avalanche, to the bottom where I lay
Bm D
And with the taste of blood and the twist of bone
G
My healing could begin
[Chorus]
D A D G
'Cause the wound is where the light, The wound is where the light
Bm A D
The wound is where the light gets in
[Verse 2]
D G D
I have stood there like a hostage with a knife held to my vein
G A
Captive to the poison that I took to numb the pain
Bm D G
'Cause everybody wishes they were born with thicker skin
[Chorus]
D A D G
'Cause the wound is where the light, The wound is where the light
Bm A D
The wound is where the light gets in
[Bridge]
G
It's trickey how the heart works
When the break ups and the big jerks
D
Make us never want to hurt that way again
G Em
Maybe I'm naive but in every scar I see
D A
The place where love is trying to break in
D A D
'Cause the wound is where the light gets in
[Verse 3]
D G D
You can recognise a saint by the scars they don't disguise
G A
You can pick out a real sinner by the kindness in their eyes
Bm D G
So if you're stumbling in the dark and bleeding at the shin
D A D G
Remember the wound is where the light, The wound is where the light
Bm A D
The wound is where the light gets in
[Chorus]
D A D G
'Cause the wound is where the light, The wound is where the light
Bm A D
The wound is where the light gets in
