The Wound Is Where The Light Gets In (live)

Verse 1 

D                                       G                 D 
I was half way up the mountain when the rocks I held gave way 
                                        G             A 
Came tumbling like an avalanche, to the bottom wher I lay 
             Bm                 D 
Now with the taste of blood and twist of bone 
                   G 
My healing could begin 



[Refrão]
           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've stood here like a hostage with a knife held to my vain 
                                  G                A 
Held captive to the poison that I took to numb the pain 
       Bm        D                                  G 
'Cause everybody wishes they were born with thicker skin 


Bridge 

     G 
It's trickey how the heart works 

When the break ups and the big jecks 
     D 
Make never want to hurt that way again 
G                      Em 
Maybe I'm naive but in every scare I see 
  D                                   A 
A place where love is trying to break in 
           D                  A 
'Cause the wound is where the light 


Verse 3 
D                                G                    D 
You can recognise a saint by the scares 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?)
