G G/D Em
G G/D
My skin is like a map
Em
Of where my heart has been
G G/D
And I can't hide the marks
Em
But it's not a negative thing
Am
So I let down my guard
Em Bm
Drop my defences down by my clothes
Am
I'm learning to fall
Em Bm
With no safety net to cushion the blow
Chorus:
C
I bruise easily
C/D Em
So be gentle when you handle me
C
There's a mark you leave
C/D Em
Like a love heart carved on a tree
C
I bruise easily
C/D Em
Can't scratch the surface without moving me underneath
C C/D
I bruise easily
Em
I bruise easily
I found your fingerprints
On a glass of wine
Do you know you're leaving them
All over this heart of mine too?
But if I never take this leap of faith
I'll never know
So I'm learning to fall
With no safety net to cushion the blow
Chorus:
Bm
Anyone who can touch you
Am
Can hurt you or heal you
Bm
Anyone who can reach you
Am
Can love you or leave you
G G/D Em
So be gentle
So be gentle
So be gentle
Chorus: ( slow strum, single downstrokes )
