VERSE 1 Guitar Only
I'm bruised for nothing, Dm
Done nothing wrong, G
Why do I get treated this way? C Am
I'm bruised for nothing, Dm
It seems for writing songs, G
Why can’t you understand, C
This is where I belong.
PRE-CHORUS 1 All Enter
Our love would be just fine, F G
If we had walked that line, F G
If we’d only had the time, F G
I’d be yours, you’d still be mine. Em
CHORUS 1
And I’d be bruised for nothing, Am
Still bearing the emotional scars, F G
Look how it has affected me. Em (STOP)
Bruised for nothing, Am
You were once in my heart, F G
Baby, please remember me. Em (STOP)
BREAK Am F G Em Trombone
VERSE 2
Jealousy and hate, Dm G
Widens that gap between our hearts, C
If we could only start again. Am
I wouldn’t know where to start, Dm G
You took advantage of my weakness, C (Stop)
What’s left to be said?
PRE-CHORUS 2
There are times I should have noticed, F G
But I didn’t know how. F G
There are times I should have listened, F G
But there’s no hope now. Em___________
CHORUS 1 REPEAT
LEAD CHORUS CHORDS
OUTRO Am F G Em
Bruised for nothing,
All this hell and torment,
Will just not go away.
Bruised for nothing,
There I stand accused,
I’ve been bruised,
I’ve been bruised this way.
END ON Am
