[intro]

Cmaj7(9) . . . |Em7 . . . |


Ooh Yeah
Cmaj7(9) . . . |Em7 . . . |


[verse]
My skin is like a map of where my heart has been
Cmaj7(9) Em7

And I can't hide the marks but it's not a negative thing
Cmaj7(9) Em7


So I let down my guard, drop my defences down by my clothes
Am9 Em7 Bm7
I'm learning to fall with no safety net to cushion the blow
Am9 Em7 Bm7

[chorus]
I bruise easily so be gentle when you handle me
Cmaj7(9) Em7

There's a mark you leave like a love heart carved on a tree
Cmaj7(9) Em7

I bruise easily can't stratch the surface
Cmaj7(9)
Without moving me underneath
Em7

I bruise easily, I bruise easily yeah
Cmaj7(9) Em7

[verse]
I found your fingerprints on a glass of wine
Cmaj7(9) Em7

Do you know you're leaving them all over this heart of mine too
Cmaj7(9) Em7

But if I never take this leap of faith I'll never know
Am9 Em7 Bm7

So I'm learning to fall with no safety net to cushion the blow
Am9 Em7 Bm7

[chorus]
I bruise easily so be gentle when you handle me
Cmaj7(9) Em7

There's a mark you leave like a love heart carved on a tree
Cmaj7(9) Em7

I bruise easily can't stratch the surface
Cmaj7(9)
Without moving me underneath
Em7

I bruise easily, I bruise easily
Cmaj7(9) Em7


[middle]
Anyone who can touch you can hurt you or heal you
Bm7 Am7

Anyone who can reach you can love you or leave you
Bm7 Am7


So be gentle... ahh...
Cmaj7(9) Em7

So be gentle...
Cmaj7(9) Em7

So be gentle... Ooh....
Cmaj7(9) Em7

Ooh......
Cmaj7(9) Em7


[chorus - repeat twice]
I bruise easily so be gentle when you handle me
Cmaj7(9) Em7

There's a mark you leave like a love heart carved on a tree
Cmaj7(9) Em7

I bruise easily can't stratch the surface
Cmaj7(9)
Without moving me underneath
Em7

I bruise easily, I bruise easily
Cmaj7(9) Em7

[end]
I bruise easily
Cmaj7(9) Em7

I bruise easily
Cmaj7(9) Em7
