[Verse 1]
            A        D               A     D
You were a pain girl, a thorn in my side
           A         D                 A    D
Drove me insane girl, a white-knuckle ride
    A                                D
So why do I go lookin' through old photographs
     A                                    D
And chase you down the hallways of our checkered past
A                                   D
Hold on for dear life and keep the fire fed
   A                 D   E
I oughta let go but instead


[Chorus]
               A
It's like I'm pressing on a bruise
   D
To see if it still hurts
A                                      D
Right now that's all I've got left of you
A                D
Everybody knows that just makes it worse
     A      D
But still I do


[Verse 2]
                 A    D             A     D
I could start a new life, I could move on
                A    D                    A    D
I could do a drive by, and see if you're home
               A                         D
Now there's a fine, fine line between a memory
      A                                   D
And something any shrink would call an injury
          A                              D
But it's not over long as you're still hurtin' me
          A              D  E
And as I turn onto your street


[Chorus]
               A
It's like I'm pressing on a bruise
   D
To see if it still hurts
A                                      D
Right now that's all I've got left of you
A                D
Everybody knows that just makes it worse
     A      D
But still I do


[Bridge]
E       D    E      D    E       D
Still I do, still I do, still love you


[Verse 3]
A
But she's the kind of girl puts your world on hold
D
Walk the halls and you check your phone
A                                           D
Gave up the ghost and the ghost keeps holdin' on
         A
And you run from the sun but you curse the rain
D
Lost the love so you nurse the pain
      A                             D E
Goin' on and on, singin' that same song
           A
But she's gone
(I can't let it alone)
     D
And you get drunk on those glory days
    A
(I can't just let it heal)
        D
With a broken heart and a bitter taste
        A
(No, I can't just let it go)
            D
Well, you light it up as she burns you down
    A
(I can't just let it heal)
        D
You're smokin' those memories to the ground
           A
(Like I'm pressing on a bruise)
       D                                    A
Yeah, that's the thing about love and pain
          D                              A
They may look alike but they're not the same

(No, I can't just let it go)
                     D
You've got to let it go go go
        A
(No, I can't just let it heal)
