Am     G                 C
Five minutes before it's over
   Am                G              C
I sit and wait for things to calm down
         Am      G             F
Is it blood or wine on her shoulder?
             G                 C
Oh, just another night in a broken house
           Am      G           C
Oh, how I used to pray I was older
        Am     G           C
So at least I had a chance to save
           Am                 G
What went down from five to four
            C                 F
I wish I stood before that door
       G                      C
But instead I chose to hide away


[Pre-Chorus]
   Dm
I searched for years to find
 Am7
Some kind of peace of mind
 C                     G
But now I've done my time


[Chorus]
              Am          G            C
What does it take for you to understand
                    Am          G          C
That all of your problems made me who I am
                         Am          G             F
These scars are still bleeding now, but I'm not mad
                             G                C
With the healing of time a child becomes a man, oh

(Instrumental)

Am G C
Am G F


[Verse 2]
       Am           G                    C
I was born into thinking you were perfect
           Am             G            C
And that every word you spoke was truth
              Am            G
But now I realize your mistakes
               F
And it will never be the same
           G                             C
But no pressure if you don't came through


[Pre-Chorus]

   Dm
I searched for years to find
 Am7
Some kind of peace of mind
 C                     G
But now I've done my time


[Chorus]

              Am          G            C
What does it take for you to understand
                    Am          G          C
That all of your problems made me who I am
                         Am          G             F
These scars are still bleeding now, but I'm not mad
                             G                C
With the healing of time a child becomes a man, oh
              Am          G            C
What does it take for you to understand
                    Am          G          C
That all of your problems made me who I am
                         Am          G             F
These scars are still bleeding now, but I'm not mad
                             G                C
With the healing of time a child becomes a man, oh


[Pre-Chorus]

                             G                C
With the healing of time a child becomes a man,
              Am          G            C
What does it take for you to understand
                    Am          G          C
