A          F#m            C#m
I've spent 22 years of my life
                     D
Trying not to freak out
F#m              C#m  D
Trying not to be needy
   A         F#m                    C#m
I go through 6 different moods at a time
                          D
I'm happy then losing my mind
F#m               C#m
Go transition to crazy

D         Bm                         E
It's not fair, I've got acetone for veins
             Bm                              D Dm
I'm so sensitive, just one touch and I feel pain

Chorus:
          A           F#m
All my friends make sweet fun of me
C#m           D              A        F#m
I guess it's funny but the truth's I bruise easily
C#m           D            F#m
And sure I'm down to be a joke
      E
Metaphorically though
D                        C#m                  Bm
You could flip me inside out and they would show
                    E
Black, purple and green
Yeah I bruise easily

I've spent three hundred sixty-five days
And fifty-two weeks in my brain
Goin' over the same thing
That girls said when we was in fourth grade
I take everything personally
I've always hated that about me
I've tried to be cool and chill

But it's not fair, I've got acetone for veins
I'm so sensitive, just one touch and I feel pain

Chorus:
All my friends make sweet fun of me
I guess it's funny but the truth's I bruise easily
And sure I'm down to be the joke
Metaphorically though
You could flip me inside out and they would show
Black, purple and green
Yeah, I bruise easily

A F#m         C#m   D   A
I bruise, I bruise easily
 F#m               C#m           D       A
Black, purple and green, green, help me, I
F#m            C#m D   A
I bruise, I bruise easily
 F#m                  C#m       D     A
Please don't fucking swing, it hurts me

All my friends make sweet fun of me
But the truth's I bruise easily
Sure I'm down to be the joke
Metaphorically though
You could flip me inside out and they will show
Black, purple and green
Yeah, I bruise easily
