Verse 1:
       A augmentedA     D MajorD         A augmentedA    D MajorD
You were a pain girl, a thorn in my side

      A augmentedA      D MajorD          A augmentedA   D MajorD
Drove me insane girl, a white-knuckle ride

   A augmentedA                 D MajorD
So why do I go lookin' through old photographs

   A augmentedA                   D MajorD
And chase you down the hallways of our checkered past

 A augmentedA                   D MajorD
Hold on for dear life and keep the fire fed

  A augmentedA          D MajorD   E MajorE
I oughta let go but instead

Chorus:
        A augmentedA
It's like I'm pressing on a bruise

  D MajorD
To see if it still hurts

 A augmentedA                    D MajorD
Right now that's all I've got left of you

 A augmentedA         D MajorD
Everybody knows that just makes it worse

   A augmentedA    D MajorD
But still I do


Verse 2:
         A augmentedA   D MajorD        A augmentedA    D MajorD
I could start a new life, I could move on

         A augmentedA   D MajorD           A augmentedA   D MajorD
I could do a drive by, and see if you're home

        A augmentedA              D MajorD
Now there's a fine, fine line between a memory

    A augmentedA                   D MajorD
And something any shrink would call an injury

      A augmentedA                D MajorD
But it's not over long as you're still hurtin' me

      A augmentedA        D MajorD  E MajorE
And as I turn onto your street

Chorus:
        A augmentedA
It's like I'm pressing on a bruise

  D MajorD
To see if it still hurts

 A augmentedA                    D MajorD
Right now that's all I've got left of you

 A augmentedA         D MajorD
Everybody knows that just makes it worse

   A augmentedA    D MajorD
But still I do


Bridge:
 E MajorE     D MajorD   E MajorE    D MajorD   E MajorE     D MajorD
Still I do, still I do, still love you


Verse 3:
 A augmentedA
But she's the kind of girl puts your world on hold

 D MajorD
Walk the halls and you check your phone

 A augmentedA                       D MajorD
Gave up the ghost and the ghost keeps holdin' on

     A augmentedA
And you run from the sun but you curse the rain

 D MajorD
Lost the love so you nurse the pain

    A augmentedA                D MajorD  E MajorE
Goin' on and on, singin' that same song

      A augmentedA
But she's gone

(I can't let it alone)
   D MajorD
And you get drunk on those glory days

   A augmentedA
(I can't just let it heal)

     D MajorD
With a broken heart and a bitter taste

     A augmentedA
(No, I can't just let it go)

       D MajorD
Well, you light it up as she burns you down

   A augmentedA
(I can't just let it heal)

     D MajorD
You're smokin' those memories to the ground

      A augmentedA
(Like I'm pressing on a bruise)

    D MajorD                   A augmentedA
Yeah, that's the thing about love and pain

      D MajorD                A augmentedA
They may look alike but they're not the same


(No, I can't just let it go)
           D MajorD
You've got to let it go go go

     A augmentedA
(No, I can't just let it heal)


(fade)
