[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)
