Repeat the first verse including the overdub:
If I told you that I love you,
But Im doing alright without you it'd be a lie, But I could try,
Id run 1000 miles we're leaving,
You're the only one, I want you breathing to break down,

There is a synth overdub throughout this entire verse as well and
I have included it in case you want to play it. It sounds great,
it may actually be one of my favourite riffs from the album.
(Synth Overdub)-It just shifts back and forth between Bm and Amaj

*Strum final Bm once and let it ring.
Really fun song from a great album. There are often two or more
parts playing at once so choose which one you want to play based
on your ability and which one you play best.
-Spence
Lyrics:
I can pretend that I dont see you,
I can pretend I dont wanna hold you when you're around,
(When you're around)
I can say that nothing was right,
But we know if I looked in your eyes I'd break down,
(yeah, lets break down)
[chorus]
If I could, for just one night, to be with you, to make it right,
And what we were, and what we are,
Is hidden in the scars,
If I could, take you there,
I wont let go, this I swear,
You wont have to wonder what we are,
Cause you wont have to look to far,
Its in the scars, Its hidden in the scars,
If I told you that I love you,
But Im doing alright without you it'd be a lie, But I could try,
Id run 1000 miles we're leaving,
You're the only one, I want you breathing to break down,
(yeah lets break down!)
[chorus]
If I could, for just one night, to be with you, to make it right,
And what we were, and what we are,
Is hidden in the scars,
If I could, take you there,
I wont let go, this I swear,
You wont have to wonder what we are,
Cause you wont have to look to far,
Its in the scars, oooooh,
Yeah I'll tell you all my secrets,
All the ones I've kept inside,
And Ill give you all the reasons,
That you faded from my life,
I will learn to go, baby come here for, I will let you, up away!!
[chorus]
If I could, for just one night, to be with you, to make it right,
And what we were, and what we are,
Is hidden in the scars,
If I could, take you there,
I wont let go, baby this I swear,
You wont have to wonder what we are,
Cause you wont have to look to far,
Its in the scars, Its hidden in the scars, Hidden in the scars!
Yeah-yeah-eh-eh-ehhhhh-yeah-eh
I can pretend that I dont see you,
I can pretend I dont wanna hold you when your around
