The Wound Is Where The Light Gets In

Tom: D

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
