  			C         F C 
Taking it slowly 
  Am             F  C 
I'm afraid to be lonely 
  C       F C 
Nobody told me 
  Dm              Am                   F  C 
It's harder than I thought to tell the truth 
  C                      F  C 
It's gonna leave you in pieces 
  Am                 F  C 
All alone with your demons 
 C                  F  C 
And I know that we need this 
 Am                           F      C 
But I've been too afraid to follow through 

 C                    F     C 
Hold me close and I won't leave 
  Am             C               F C 
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody 
 C                    F     C 
So much to say but I don't speak 
  Am                  C   F   C 
And I hate that I let you stop me 
  Am                      G     F C 
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody 

    C                  F C 
Don't know where the time went 
   Am               F C 
Stuck in the wrong mindset 
  C          F C 
I let the rules bend 
  Am                                        F C 
When I know that all along they're made to break 
 C                         F C 
You got me searching for reasons 
 Am              F C 
To keep me from leaving 
 C                   F      C 
And that I have trouble breathing 
 Dm                         F   C 
I give myself another chance to stay 

  C                    F    C 
Hold me close and I won't leave 
  C                         F     C 
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody 
  C                    F    C 
So much to say but I don't speak

And I hate that I let you stop me 
  Am                      C    F   C 
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody 

 F                          C 
One day before you know it, you will see 
Dm                          G 
All of the pain and all the harmony 
Dm                               C 
You'll feel the stinging and you think of me 
 F 
'Cause it hurts when you hurt 

  C                   F    C 
Hold me close and I won't leave

'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody

So much to say but I don't speak 
 Am                   G      F C 
And I hate that I let you stop me
