[Intro]
A

[Verse 1]
                 F#m
They’re made of stone,
                 A
 said it's my delusions
           F#m
Got golden bones,
bulletproof soul,
                    A
 don't mind the bruises

[Pre-Chorus]
     D
Got feeling wounds
     D#5
and battle scars
      E
The speed of light,
      C#5
will set us off
D                 D#5
Don't lie, can't shake
 the ghost
    E
The ones who missed,
       C#5
 will hurt the most

[Chorus]
F#m
Shadows on the back seat,
 tank the glass
F#m
Trapped through memories,
 helping me fast,
        A E F5
I got bruises
F#m
South town battery,
black and blue
F#m
Shiner in the dark, and my
 heart got the marks
     A  E F5
to prove it
B5               C#5
  Don't mind the bruises

[Verse 2]
                F#m
Don't stitch me up
(Stitch me up) don't
        A
dab me down
 (Don't dab me down)
               F#m
I'll lead them off,
(I'll lead them off)
               F#m
I'll fight for love
 (I’ll fight for love)
             A
 Turn back around

[Pre-Chorus]
          D
Through thick and thin,
      D#5
 with diamond skin
E                  C#5
It's alright, I'll shine 'em in
D                  D#5
Helping hands walk out the door
E               C#5
Save the night, face it all

[Chorus]
F#m
Shadows on the back seat,
 tank the glass
F#m
Trapped through memories
helping me fast,
        A E F5
I got bruises
F#m
South town battery,
black and blue
F#m
Shiner in the dark,
and my
heart got the marks
      A  E F5
to prove it

[Bridge]
B5 A#5 A
         Don't mind
     F#m A
 the bruises

     F#m A
 the bruises
