Bruised Tab

by Jacks Mannequin


this is my first ever tab, might not be exactly right, but sounds pretty good

standard tuning
capo 2


I've got my things, I'm good to go

You met me at the terminal
                                      
Just one more plane ride and it's done


We stood like statues at the gate

Vacation's come and gone too late

There's so much sun where I'm from

I had to give it away, had to give you away

(break)       


And we spent four days on an island 

At your family's old hotel

Sometimes perfection can be

It can be perfect hell
Perfect

(chorus)

Hours pass
And she still counts the minutes
             
That I am not there                F 
I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this
                                    
Like every inch of me is bruised

Bruised


Don't fly fast
Oh, pilot can you help me
          
Can you make this last?
This plane is all I got
           
So keep it steady, now
'Cause every inch you see is

Bruised

(verse 2)


I lace my Chucks
I walk the aisle

I take my pills
The babies cry

All I hear
               
Is what's playing through the in-flight radio

Now every word of every song

I've ever heard that made me 

Want to stay
              
Is what's playing through the in-flight radio

And I

I 
                      
Finally waking up


Hours pass
And she still counts the minutes
             
That I am not there                F 
I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this
                                    
Like every inch of me is bruised

Bruised


Don't fly fast
Oh, pilot can you help me
          
Can you make this last?
This plane is all I got
           
So keep it steady, now
'Cause every inch you see is

Bruised

p.m.

So read your books
                                 
But stay out late some nights, some nights
        
And don't think that you
                           
Can't stop by the bar

You haven't shown your face here
                           
Since the bad news

I'm here 'til close, with fingers crossed
         
Each night 'cause your place isn't far
(let ring)             (let ring)
                                         
And hours pass, and hours pass, yeah, yeah




And she still counts the minutes
             
That I am not there                F 
I swear I didn't mean for it to feel like this
                                    
Like every inch of me is bruised
