  			(A7) D      Dm7		   D6 
You always hurt the one you love 
 
 
    D        Dm7      D7      Em7    A7 
The one you shouldn't hurt at all; 
 
 
    Em      B+       Em7      Em6 
You always take the sweetest rose 
 
 
    Em7      B+        A    A7   D   Fdim  A7   
And crush it till the pet - als fall; 
 
 
    D       D9       Dm7      D6 
You always break the kindest heart 
 
 
       Em    Em7      G/B     A7sus4   A7 
With a hasty word you can't re-call; 
 
 
    D   Dm7			     D6 
So If I broke your heart last night, 
 
 
 
First Time: 
 
        G      G9       A        D   Dm7   Em7  A7 
It's because I love you most of all. 
 
 
 
Last Time: 
 
        G      G9       A    A7   D   Bm7  Gdim   D 
It's because I love you most of all.
