	Each time you hurt me 
                         D 
	You say you're sorry 
 
	I try to understand 
                  G   
	And say okay 
 
	But there must be an end 
                  C/G   
	To understanding 
                 D                            G 
	And the end of mine can't be too far away 
 
 
Verse 2: 
           G 
	I try to understand that 
                      D

	And we all make mystakes 
              G

	Ask too much of one 
                       D 
	And both will die

	And there must be an end

	To understanding 
               C/G                                G   
	And i know someday i'll reach the end of mine
