Pay at ten tion, I hope that you lis ten, ’cause I let my (C)guard down.
Right now I’m com plete ly de fense less.
For your eyes (F)on ly,
I (Dm)show you my heart for when you’re (F)lone ly
and for (Dm)get who you are.
I’m miss in’ (Bb)half of (F)me
(Dm)when we’re a part.
Now you (Bb)know me, for your eyes (Bb)on ly,
for your eyes (Gm7)on (Bb)ly.
I’ve got (F)scars,
ev en though they (Bb)can’t (F)al (Gm)ways (F)be seen.
And pain gets (F)hard,
