Sometimes I Still Feel The Bruise

Am    Am
Am     C     G    Dm
Am     C     G    Dm


[Verse 1]
Am                       C
    This is just to say "hello"
               G
And to let you know
                    Dm            Am
I think of you from time to time
                      C
I know I never really knew you
              G
But somehow I miss you
                           Dm           F
And wish that you'd stayed in my life


[Chorus]
                    C
Making contact gets harder
                     G
As the silence grows longer
                  Am      F
And isn't it only me
                          C
Who'd like us to see each other?
                         G
How I would hate to be a bother
                             Am      C
The way we left it was you'd ring


[Verse 2]
    F        Am         C
I'm under no illusion
      F               Am      F
As to what I meant to you
                C
But you made an impression
              F                Am       C
And sometimes I still feel the bruise
          F                Am
Sometimes I still feel the bruise

Am      C      G      Dm

Am                        C
   Now and then I stumble on
                              G
What I've misplaced but never lost
                     Dm         Am
An ache I first felt long ago
                               C
Though you've appeared and disappeared
                          G
Throughout these past few years
                    Dm               F
I'd be surprised if you now showed


[Chorus]
                    C
Making contact gets harder
                     G
As the silence grows longer
                           Am      F
And why would you think of me
                             C
When you were not the one in love?
                      G
When you were not the dreamer?
                       Am          C
When you were just the dream?


F            Am          C
I'm under no illusion
      F               Am        F
as to what I meant to you
                C
But you made an impression,
              F                Am       C
and sometimes I still feel the bruise
          F                Am
Sometimes I still feel the bruise
