Em
No one can help you now
           D                      Am
You ain't willing to learn, not then, not now
Em
You're goin' slow, not standing still
        D              Am
You're ripe upon your window sill

You're going through what you're going through
You're innocent 'til you know it's true
You fill your glass and tip your cup
It's just the price of growing up

Chorus:
      G                   D           Am
Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying
          C
bare in front of me
 G              D               Am  C
Waiting for a spark to kill the cold  (Ah)
      Em                 D          C
Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed

Sometimes you won't speak for days
But nothing burns like hidden rage
Not every scar is visible
Walk gently in the time you fill

Chorus:
      G                   D           Am
Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying
          C
bare in front of me
 G              D               Am  C
Waiting for a spark to kill the cold (Ah)
      G                   D  
Your past mistakes and tragedies
     Am                C
The reason you're mistrusting me
 G               D        Am    C
Watching as it casually unfolds (Ah)
      Em            D                  C
But what goes on inside? We'll never know
      Em                 D          C
Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed

Em
If every day just followed a script
     D                      Am
With all your love worked into it
Em
Would you ever feel warm enough
          D                  Am
Or is it just the price of growing up?

Chorus::
Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying
bare in front of me
Waiting for a spark to kill the cold
Your past mistakes and tragedies are laying
bare, disgusting me
Watching as it casually unfolds (Ah)
But what goes on inside, we'll never know (Ah)
Your past mistakes and tragedies exposed
