Bruised Tab

by Jacks Mannequin


Some of the other tabs for this song may be correct as well but I found them to 
be unnecessarily difficult and think this tab should be easy for most people and 
sounds to me pretty much on point.

standard tuning
capo 3


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

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
