Black And Blue Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Am You seem Am/G surprised Am7 to find C that I'm G human

and that I can do things wrong.

For my frailties your heart has no room and

Am you go E7 write A F song.

G You take glee in E7 making me play my Am faults out D onstage.

Dm You can spit your [Dm maj7] venom out but Dm7 I must hold my G rage.

And I'm C E7 feeling F black and C blue

like I'm C E7 beaten F through and G through.

I'm Dm cut and G bruised. I'm Dm black and G blue.

Would it give you any satisfaction

if I said I can be mean?

Would you then admit in our interactions

your hands aren't quite clean?

When you tell your stories that recount my every sin

you always leave out the beginnings so you can look good in the ends.

And I'm feeling black and blue like I'm beaten through and through.

I'm cut and bruised. I'm black and blue.

E This is the point at which E7 I need to write a Am bridge for this.

But I C7 haven't done it yet. F It's Fm proving hard to G get.

When you find the next thing that I'm lacking.

Please don't tell me to my face.

For my pride has taken quite a whacking.

I can't stand up straight.

So, take my latest failure and be sure to write it down

so you can pour it out like water on me when I start to drown.

And I'm feeling black and blue like I'm beaten through and through.

I'm cut and bruised. I'm not like you.

I'm black and blue.
