[Verse 1]
[G]You[F] sa[C]y y[Dm]ou wa[C]nt[G] to seek the tru[C]th,[G]
[C]
but it's [Bm]hard [A]to find[Am]
No one [D]to help you,
your [G]friends don't [C]have the time[G]
So you ride [C]around [G]in your [C]car,
switch on the ra[Bm]di o[A]
[Am]You want[D] to relate to so[Am]meth[D]ing
you once read in a book
[Am]What kind [D]of a way to try [G]to t[D]ake a lo[G]ok
[C]Until I got hurt

[Verse 2]
[D]I was looking,
[C]I was on [D]my way
[G]Until I got hur[C]t, until I got hur[D]t,
darling [C]I painted m[D]y face g[G]rey
Until [C]I got hurt, 'til I got [D]hurt, why didn't I
[C]I didn't t[D]hink o[G]f this until I got hurt
'Till I [D]got hurt, baby,
[C]I didn't kno[D]w what love is[G]
[F][Em][Dm][C][G]

[Verse 3]
You say you [C]want to learn [G]to [C]laugh
'cause music [Bm]makes [A]you cry[Am]
But the tears [D]you shed are only in your [C]eye
[G]So you turn to [C]any pho[G]ny
[C]mouth with a [Bm]tale [A]to tell
[C]But he's just a h[D]oaxer don't you[Am] know,
[C]selling [D]peace and religion
[Am]Between his [C]joke[D]s and his
[G]karma chewing gum

[Verse 4]
[C]Until I [D]got hurt, I was looking,
[C]I was t[D]he same a[G]s you
Until I got [C]hurt, until [D]I got hurt,
[C]I did not k[D]now what t[G]o do
Until I got [C]hurt, 'till I [D]got hurt,
why [C]didn't [
I didn't [D]think [G]of this until I got hurt
[C]'Till I got[D] hurt, baby,
[C]I didn't k[D]now what love i[G]s

[Verse 5]
[Em]Young son, don't [C]let me [G]down,
[Am]young son
[Em]I'm trusting you to keep [Am]on,
nev[D]er turn [G]away now
Hold [Em]on, nev[C]er let g[G]o, now hold [Am]on
Turn [Em]your heart to the bright [Am]sun
Love [D]will come your [G]way
Cause [A]'till you make that final [D]show
[E]You'll never [D]know what [C]love
you've been [D]missing[G]
Missing
[C][D]

[Verse 6]
[G]
You say you [C]want to seek [G]the [C]truth
but you [Bm]work [A]alone[Am]
No one to help [D]you and [G]nobody
to push [D]you [C]on[G][C][F][C][G]
So you sit at home drinking your [C]wine,
televi[G]sion [Bm]on[A][Am]
[C]You wait for a m[D]iracle,
[Am]'cau[C]se you say[D] one day one'll come along[Am]
( But wish[D]ful thinking,
[Am]boy)[C] any minut[D]e now ! You might be gone[Am]
I'd [C]like to [D]help you brother
but [G]that would be wrong

[Verse 7]
[C]Until I got [D]hurt, I was looking,
[C]I was on [D]my way
[G]Until I got hurt, unt[C]il I got hur[D]t,
[C]darling I didn't [D]know which [G]way
Until I got hurt, [Am]'till I [C]got [D]hurt, why didn't I
[C]I didn't thi[D]nk of thi[G]s until I got hurt
[C]'Till I got [D]hurt, baby,
[C]I didn't kno[D]w what lov[G]e[A][B][C]
[D]is[G][D]

[Verse 8]
[C]Until I got hurt,
[D]oh [C]I didn't kno[D]w what lov[G]e is
