Em7Cadd9G
And sometimes, the most beautiful
Em7Cadd9GEm7
pain in life is the kind you can't disguise or hide.
Em7Cadd9G
And the hard truth about life. If I'm not
Em7
Allowed to give up on mine,
Cadd9GCadd9G
You are not allowed to not even try.
Em7D/F#Cadd9
One day at a time, you'll have to remake
GD/F#
The same decision as the one I made last night.
Em7GCadd9G
You and I have already started to die.
Em7GCadd9G
And now that I understand, why I've never felt quite so alive.
Em7GCadd9G
And I feel like I've sang about scars a hundred times
Em7GCadd9G
But for the record I’ve found the reason for mine.
Em7Cadd9G
And sometimes, we need to find a
Em7Cadd9G
Reason for the pain in our own lives. Oh, and
Em7Cadd9G
Mine was you and I promise this song is a place for the truth.
Em7Cadd9GCadd9
We can’t keep hiding and hurting. I know I’ve tried to.
GEm7D/F#Cadd9
One day at a time, we just might have to remake
GD/F#
The decision every day for the rest of life.
Em7GCadd9G
You and I have already started to die.
Em7GCadd9G
And now that I understand, why I've never felt quite so alive.
Em7GCadd9G
And I feel like I've sang about scars a hundred times
Em7GCadd9GCmaj7
But for the record I’ve finally found the reason for mine.
EmD/F#C
And for the record, I'm in California still writing one
EmD/F#C
Day at a time. And for the record,
EmD/F#C
I refuse to be ashamed of all my scars.
EmD/F#
You and I are both the same.

(continue finger-picking in the same pattern)
Em7GC
We've already cheated death so many times.
(electric guitars kick in, palm muted versions of the same chords)
Em7GCG
If we’re going to die, why not cheat it again tonight?
EmGCadd9G
You and I have already started to die.
EmGCadd9G
And now that I understand, why I've never felt quite so alive.
EmGCadd9G
And I feel like I've sang about scars a hundred times
EmGCadd9G
But for the record I’ve found the reason for mine.
