Tell Me Where It Hurts

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]
                 F#m
Tell me where it hurts
                  D
Tell me where it hurts
                    A
Tell me where your soul's on fire
                              E
Where your skin, your heart, burns
                 F#m
Tell me where it hurts
                  D
Tell me where it hurts
                      A
Tell me where you're buried
                                      E
What scars you've hidden beneath the dirt
                  F#m  D  A
Tell me where it hurts
                  F#m  D  A
Tell me where it hurts
                  F#m  D  A  F#m  D  A
Tell me where it hurts
