C                        Cadd9 C/F        C                  Cadd9   C/F 
Lend an ear I’ll tell you a story about a man who didn’t know how to be 
C                  G             C/F    Dm 
Joined a traveling circus from PEI to BC 
C                  Cadd9   C/F    C                  Cadd9   C/F 
I was playing dead every morning, I was taking dives every night 
     C                G               C/F          Dm 
Then someone came and swept me off my feet in mid-flight 

    F                             C    Cadd9 
Now without her love I really got nothing 
F                               C   G 
Without her love I’d hang up my shoes 
F                  Dm           C/F            G       C 
It’d be a world of suffering if this one I was ever to lose 
       F                         C    Cadd9 
So I’m hanging on with all of my power 
F                        C  G 
Hanging on as tight as a noose 
F                   Dm             C/F               G      C 
Around the midnight hour she said “remember that I’m easily bruised” 

I had everything that I wanted. Had so much I threw it away 
But she could see that what I needed was never there anyway 
Now everything around me is shifting. I’m running like a child through a maze 
But I’m never lost completely cause an angel keeps me safe 
Without her love I’m dead in the water 
Without her love my aim is untrue 
My blood gets hotter and hotter at the thought of leaving this angel blue 
So I’m hanging on with all of my power 
It’s looking like our bodies might fuse 
And when her cried got louder, she said “remember that I’m easily bruised” 

Everything makes sense in a moment and a moment’s independent of time 
But who decides where truth resides? Your guess is as good as mine 
So have another sip of the good stuff, have another round on me 
If this moment lasts forever then the truth we might just see 
But without her love I don’t have an inkling 
I’d be howling every night at the moon 
And if the stars stopped twinkling the end would surely be coming soon 
So I’m hanging on with all of my power in the garden where we’re all free to choose 
Any fruit or flower she said “remember that I’m easily bruised” 
“Remember that I’m easily bruised” 
“Remember that I’m easily bruised”
