James Bay - Scars (Bing Lounge) chords
Start Jamming...
This song is a funny one because songs take a couple of days, sometimes a couple of months
to write, but not a lot of them take two years.
And [E] this one took two years.
[G] I stuck with it though because there's a funny kind of reason why it's all very close to
me and very special.
I was spending a lot of time with it and kind of living with it.
It came out of the blue that one day she had to go.
She had to leave, she had to move away to [Gb] America, funny enough.
I was living at home, I was living in England and she had to go and it all kind of took
us by surprise a bit.
It happened.
It's an even longer story why, so I won't bore you with that.
She went away and it was just a big, it was a deep cut and I tried to deal with it by
trying to write a song.
And I started something and it took my mind off it a little in a strange way because it
was like, if nothing else, it felt like it was a good idea, the musical idea.
And then [Ab] I hit a brick wall entirely and I just kind of got a bit too deep in the whole
she's gone thing.
And eventually, luckily, after maybe I think it was a year, a bit more, she came back,
she came home.
So it's a bit weird right now because what's good is we're still [Gb] together, but she's out
back home in England and I'm [Ab] out here.
So I guess I have to apologize for that a little bit, but it's all good.
When she came back, I was able to finish the song.
So I'm going to play that song [F] and it's called Scars.

[C] I'll watch you on the red horizon.
[Bb] Your lion's heart [C] will protect [Bb] you under stormy [D] skies.
And I will always be listening [Dm] for your laughter and [Bb] your tears.
[C] As soon as I can hold you once again, I won't let go of you, [Bb] I swear.
[F] We lived through scars this time.
[Bb] I've made up my [F] [C] mind.
We can't leave us [Bb] behind
[F] anymore.
[C] Your hands are cold, your lips are turning blue, you're shaking.
[Bb]
This fragile heart, heavy in my chest, [D] is breaking.
[Dm] And in the dark, you try to make a [Am] payphone [Bb] call to me.
[G] [F]
But you're miles away, you're breaking [C] up, you're on your own.
[Bb] It's hard to take.
I need an hour just to say [D] hello.
[Dm] And I can't make it.
The truth of this workout for you [Bb] and me.
[F]
And [C] for all the pennies in your pocket, I barely get a second just [Bb] to speak.
[F]
We lived through scars this time.
I've made up my [C] mind.
We can't leave us [Bb] behind.
[F]
[C] We'll have to hurt for [F] now.
The next time, there's no doubt, [C] because I can't go [Bb] without you [F] anymore.

[C] [F] We'll have to hurt for now.
Next time, there's no doubt.
[C] No, I can't go [Bb] without you [F] anymore.
[C] No, I can't go [Bb] without
[F]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] you.
