Plain White T's – Bruises (Guitar Intro Tab)

A              B        C#m         E5    D#5   E5 A
  She tries to hide the bruises she says it wasn't him

A         B        C#m           E5
  But sometimes he loses his temper

D#5   E5 A               B        C#m         E5
    And again he'll come home and look for a fight

D#5   E5  A                B    C#m     E5
But she tells herself it's alright

D#5   E5   A           B   A B C#m   E5   D#5   E5
She hopes someday it's alright

A             B       C#m     E5   D#5   E5  A
  She doesn't tell anybody but everyone can tell

             B               C#m         E5     D#5   E5  A
That there's something she's hiding, she hasn't been herself

        B          C#m       E5
But she still goes out every night

  She has to make excuses for all of this abuse

         B       C#m            E5         D#5   E5   A
And it's sad the truth is she's scared of what he'll do

         B           C#m        E5
If she'd ever walked out of his life

It's never too late but she knows its now or never
