She holds her head within her hands
quietly reeling
If only he could understand
What she’s feeling
She moves into me
To kiss my shoulder
with emergency for me to hold her (me to hold her)

It’s just a bruise
Intro Riff
Verse
(bass riff, then similar guitar riff again I think but not 100% sure)
He holds his head within his hands
contemplating
If only she could understand
Without waiting
She moves into me
To kiss my shoulder
With emergency for me to hold her (me to hold her)
Chorus (same as before)
It’s all I want when I’m lost
She’s all I need when it’s old
She’s all I have when I lose
It’s just a bruise

It’s all I want when I’m down
She’s all I need when it’s old

It’s just a bruise
She’s everything
When I lose, its just a bruise.
That’s it guys, I’ve left out the strumming patterns as I couldn’t be bothered to tab
them out in all honesty. Send me any corrections or improvements that you may find as
I’m sure there are many. Cheers
