Lyrics

Just too un real all this.

(Am7)Watch ing the words fall from my lips...

(F#7)Bait ing some girl with hy poth (Bsus)e ses!

(F#7)Have n’t you heard the word

of your bod y?

Don’t feel a thing,

you wish.

(Am7)Grasp ing at pearls with my (Em)fin ger tips...

(F#7)Hold ing her hand like some lit tle tease.

(F#7)Have n’t you heard the word

of my want ing?

(F)O,

I’m gon na be (E)wound ed.

(A)O,

I’m gon na be your (D)wound.

(Gmaj7)O,

I’m gon na (Em9)bruise you.

(Gmaj7)O,

you’re gon na be my

bruise.

Just too un real, all this.

(Am7)Watch ing his world slip through my fist...

(F#7)Play ing with her in your fan (Bsus)ta sies.

(F#7)Have n’t you heard a word—

how I want you?

(F)O,

I’m gon na be (E)wound ed.

(A)O,

I’m gon na be your (D)wound.

(Gmaj7)O,

I’m gon na (Em9)bruise you.

(Gmaj7)O,

you’re gon na be my

bruise.
