Sam Smith - Scars

Intro: Bm A G D x2

[Verse 1]
Bm 
This is for my mother
           A                     D/F#              G
from the older brother of your children, made of three
          D/F#             
Now you found your lover
 G                                     D/F#         A
‘cause it wasn’t our father who made you laugh and happy

            Bm 
It’s been a long five years
             A                         D/F#              G
I’ve cried a thousand tears, and here we are after the war
           D/F# 
but we’re so much better
G                                     D/F#             A
Now the skies are clearer, now there’s no more slamming doors

[chorus]
       Bm
Now, I say
      A                  G      D
dear Mother, how you’ve come so far
Bm            A                  G       D
Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
Bm              A                  G       D
I hope you’re proud, Mother, of what you’ve done
        D/F#                    G                     A
It’s a lifelong lesson and I’m not pretending when I say
               Bm      A D/F# G 
You cleared up my scars
             D/F#       G D/F# A 
You cleared up my scars

[Verse 2]
Bm
This is for my father
          A                      D/F#             G
from the older brother of your children made of three
             D/F#
Yeah, you’ve been so good to us
        G                        D/F#          A 
and showed us how to live and taught us to be free

Bm
but when Mother told you
         A                      D/F#             G
That she didn’t love you, all these bridges hit the sea
         D/F# 
So you built another one
G                                     D/F#         A
and helped us cross it, even though you were in need

[chorus]
      Bm
Now, I say
     A                  G      D
dear Father, how you’ve come so far
Bm            A                  G       D
Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
Bm              A                  G       D
I hope you’re proud, Father, of what you’ve done
        D/F#                    G                     A
It’s a lifelong lesson and I’m not pretending when I say
               Bm      A D/F# G 
You cleared up my scars
             D/F#       G D/F# A 
You cleared up my scars
You cleared up my scars
You cleared up my scars

Bm      A                G       D
dear Mother, how you’ve come so far
Bm            A                  G       D
Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts
Bm              A                   G        D
I hope you’re proud, Mother, of what you’ve done
      D/F#                    G                     A
It’s a lifelong lesson and I’m not pretending when I say
A 
You cleared up my scars
