D                         A 
Why do the things we love 
                                D 
Torture us more than the things 
                         A 
The things we can do without? 
               D 
I can't do without 
                          A 
The things that you do to me 
                      D 
But why d'you do the things 
                           A 
The things that you do to me? 

                    D 
I'm sad but I can't talk about it 
                    A 
And they can't do a thing about it 
                       D 
And I hurt but I can't live without it 
                       A 
And I hate but still I never doubt it 

D                        A 
Why do the things we hear 
                          D 
From the ones that we love 
                           A 
Torture us more than other things 
                  D 
I can't do without  
                             A 
The things that you say to me 
                         D 
Why do you say the things 
                            A 
The things that you say to me? 


                    D 
I'm sad but I can't talk about it 
                    A 
And they can't do a thing about it 
                       D 
And I hurt but I can't live without it 
                       A 
And I hate but still I never doubt it 

      D     A 
And I go hungry 
      D     A 
And I go hungry 

                    D 
I'm sad but I can't talk about it 
                    A 
And they can't do a thing about it 
                       D 
And I hurt but I can't live without it 
                       A 
And I hate but still I never doubt it 

    D     A 
And I go hungry    
      D     A 
And I go hungry
