            C  D Em 
It doesn't hurt me 
                          C  D Em 
Do you wanna feel how it feels 
                                         C  D Em 
Do you wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me 
                             C           Em  Am 
Do you wanna hear about the deal got I'm making 
C              Em  Am 
  and you and me  here 

    C 
And if I only could 
            Bm 
I'd make a deal with God 
    Em 
And I'd get him to swap our places 
                    C 
Be running up that road 
                    D

You don't wanna hurt me 
                             C D Em 
But see how deep the bullet lies 
                            C D  Em 
Unaware I'm tearing you a thunder 
                         C  D Em 
There is thunder in our hearts 
                                       C D  Em 
Is there so much hate for the ones we love 
                          C      Em  Am 
Oh, tell me we both matter don't we 
C               Em             Am 
  It´s you and me  you and me won't be unhappy
