Em C G G Em C G D
[Verse]
Em G
Shoulders back and chin high
Am
Stoic posture, fine disguise
D
But I can see the scars glistening
Em
In your eyes
G
Bruised and broken, made to kneel
Am
Plastered smile, feign mind of steel
D
Brittle words disguise the ache
You feel
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I can tell that you're bleeding
C
I can tell that you're grieving
G
But I can't tell where
I can't tell
D
So won't you tell me
[Chorus]
Em
Tell me where it hurts
C
Tell me where it hurts
G
Tell me where your soul's on fire
D
Where your skin, your heart, burns
Em
Tell me where it hurts
C
Tell me where it hurts
G
Tell me where you're buried
D
What scars you've hidden beneath the dirt
Em C G
Tell me where it hurts
Em C G
Tell me where it hurts
[Verse]
Em G
I've crossed mountains, I've crossed seas
Am
Thought I'd finally learned to be
But just one touch and, darling
D
I am falling
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I can tell that you're bleeding
C
I can tell that you're grieving
G
But I can't tell where
I can't tell
D
So won't you tell me
[Chorus]
Em
Tell me where it hurts
C
Tell me where it hurts
G
Tell me where your soul's on fire
D
Where your skin, your heart, burns
Em
Tell me where it hurts
C
Tell me where it hurts
G
Tell me where you're buried
D
What scars you've hidden beneath the dirt
Em C G
Tell me where it hurts
Em C G
Tell me where it hurts
[Bridge]
C D
I will be the air in your lungs
C D
I will be the water to cool your raging heart
C D
I will be your voice, be your tongue
C D C D
Take my hand and we'll find our way out of the dark
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
I can tell that you're bleeding
C
I can tell that you're grieving
G
But I can't tell where
I can't tell
D
So won't you tell me
[Chorus]
