Bruised

Eb
I've got my things, I'm good to go
Gm
You met me at the terminal
Cm            Ab                
Just one more plane ride and 
Eb  Bb
it's done

Eb
We stood like statues at the gate
Gm
Vacation's come and gone too late
Cm              Ab               
There's so much sun where I'm 
Eb Bb
from

  Eb Gm Cm Ab
you away

Eb
And we spent four days on an
Gm
Island at your family's old hotel
Cm          Ab      Eb
Sometimes perfection can be
                  Bb          Ab
It can be perfect hell, perfect...

Eb                                
Hours pass, and she still counts 
     Bb
the minutes

That I am not there, I swear I 
didn't mean
Cm
For it to feel like this
                         Gm
Like every inch of me is bruised, 
bruised
Eb                                
And don't fly fast. Oh, pilot can 
         Bb
you help me?

Can you make this last? This plane 
is all I got
    Cm
So keep it steady, now
