Intro

Dm      F       F       Am


Verse 1

Dm      
These scars aren’t pretty
Dm
But they’re a part of me
F                      Am
And will not ever fade away
Dm
These marks tell a story
Dm
Of me down in the valley
F                                Am
And how You reached in with Your grace
F          C
And healed me


Chorus

Dm                      F
They remind me of Your faithfulness
F                      C
And all You brought me through
Dm                      F
They teach me that my brokenness
F                    C
Is something You can use
Dm                      F
They show me where I’ve been and
F                      C
That I’m not there any more
Dm                             C         F
That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for
                Dm      Dm      F       F       Am
what scars are for


Verse 2

Dm
Erase, rewind
Dm
Wish I could every time
F                          Am
The hurt, the pain cuts so deep
Dm
But when I’m weak You’re strong
Dm
And in Your power I can carry on
F                                     Am
And my scars say that You won’t ever leave


Chorus

Dm                      F
They remind me of Your faithfulness
F                      C
And all You brought me through
Dm                      F
They teach me that my brokenness
F                    C
Is something You can use
Dm                      F
They show me where I’ve been and
F                      C
That I’m not there any more
Dm                             C         F
That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for


Bridge

I see it on the cross
C
The nails You took for me
F
Scars can change the world
C
Scars can set me free


Chorus

Dm                      F
They remind me of Your faithfulness
F                      C
And all You brought me through
Dm                      F
They teach me that my brokenness
F                    C
Is something You can use
Dm                      F
They show me where I’ve been and
F                      C
That I’m not there any more
Dm                             C         
That’s what scars, that’s what scars
Dm                      C         F
They show me that’s what scars are for
Dm              F            
What scars are for
      C        F
