Pressing On A Bruise

A|-4-----2b4-0-| A D A D A D A D You were a pain girl, a thorn in my side A D A D Drove me insane girl, a white-knuckle ride A D So why do I go lookin' through old photographs A D And chase you down the hallways of our checkered past A D Hold on for dear life and keep the fire fed A D E I oughta let go but instead A It's like I'm pressing on a bruise D To see if it still hurts A D Right now that's all I've got left of you A D Everybody knows that just makes it worse A D But still I do A D A D I could start a new life, I could move on A D A D I could do a drive by, and see if you're home A D Now there's a fine, fine line between a memory A D And something any shrink would call an injury A D But it's not over long as you're still hurtin' me A D E And as I turn onto your street A It's like I'm pressing on a bruise D To see if it still hurts A D Right now that's all I've got left of you A D Everybody knows that just makes it worse A D But still I do E D E D E D Still I do, still I do, still love you A But she's the kind of girl puts your world on hold D Walk the halls and you check your phone A D Gave up the ghost and the ghost keeps holdin' on A And you run from the sun but you curse the rain D Lost the love so you nurse the pain A D E Goin' on and on, singin' that same song A But she's gone (I can't let it alone) D And you get drunk on those glory days A (I can't just let it heal) D With a broken heart and a bitter taste A (No, I can't just let it go) D Well, you light it up as she burns you down A (I can't just let it heal) D You're smokin' those memories to the ground A (Like I'm pressing on a bruise) D A Yeah, that's the thing about love and pain D A They may look alike but they're not the same (No, I can't just let it go) D You've got to let it go go go A (No, I can't just let it heal) (fade)
