Bruises  (SCT 2, UK 6, 2017)    (video)
 
   Am
1.      Counting days, counting days
                                               F          C
     since my love up and got lost on me,
Am
    and every breath that I've been taken
                     G                       F            C
    since you left feels like a waste on me.
Am
    I've been holding on to hope
                               Em                           F               C
    that you'll come back when you can find some peace,
Am
    'cause every word that I've heard spoken
                     G                       F           C
    since you left feels like a hollow street.
F
    I've been told, I've been told to get you off my mind,
Am                                            G
    but I hope I never lose the bruises that you left behind.
F                                                                         Am    - Em
    Oh, my Lord, oh, my Lord, I need you by my side !
 
                                                      F Am
There must be something in the water
                                             Em F
'cause every day it's getting colder.
                               G    Am
And if only I could hold you
                                                   Em F
you'd keep my head from going under.
 
  Am                                                 G
2.   Maybe I, maybe I'm just being blinded
                  F         C
    by the brighter side
Am
    of what we had because it's over
                       Em                         F        C
    well, there must be something in the tide.
F
    I've been told, I've been told to get you off my mind,
Am                                            G
    but I hope I never lose the bruises that you left behind.
F                                                                         Am    - Em
    Oh, my Lord, oh, my Lord, I need you by my side !
 
                                                      F Am
There must be something in the water
                                             Em F
'cause every day it's getting colder.
                               G    Am
And if only I could hold you
                                                   Em F
you'd keep my head from going under.
 
                              F   Am                         Em  F
+  Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ! Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh !
                            G   Am                           Em  F
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ! Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh !
 
  Dm                                    - C
+    It's your love I'm lost in,      your love I'm lost in.
Am                                             G
    your love I'm lost in ! And I'm tired of being so exhausted.
Dm                               - C
    Your love I'm lost in,       your love I'm lost in,
Am                                G                                                 F    - Am
    your love I'm lost in, even though I'm nothing to you now.
                                                       Em  - F
   Even though I'm nothing to you now.
