Bruises (featuring Ashley Monroe) - Train

Album: California 37 (released April 17th)
Tabbed by: Sindre Berge

Guitar chords are at the top and piano chords (the original chords) are below the guitar 
chords on the bottom of the page. Lyrics may be a little off a select few places - I'll 
fix it once the album's out.
I hope you'll enjoy this fantastic new tune off of Train's upcoming California 37!

Guitar version:
Tuning: Standard (EADGBE)
Capo: 7th fret
Chords should be played as follows:
G: 320033       Cadd9: x32033     Em7: 022033
D: xx0232       Dsus4: xx0233     G/B: x20033
Am: x02213      B/D#: xx4442      A: x03330
G#dim: xx0104 (I recommend you don't play this chord, it doesn't sound good on the 
guitar in this song no matter how it's played)
