When The Hurt Comes Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Bdim][E][Am][F]
[C][F][G]

[Verse 1]
When the [C]hurt comes
You close your eyes
[Bdim]As if to drown out
[F]the pain[E]
You're los[Am]ing a piece
of your soul
[G]And you fight like a fool
[F]To find it again

[Verse 2]
[Dm]And turn out the lights,
greet [F]coldest [Dm]of night[E]s
[Em]The darkness holds you like
[Am]a distant lover
When the [Bb]hurt digs in that [Gm]far
[G]You[Bdim] scramble for who you are
[Dm]Too scared to be alone[Am],
too scared to [G]find an[F]other
[C]I watched you grow

[Verse 3]
When as a wide eyed smiling girl
[Bdim]You thought all the world
[E]was beautiful[Esus4]
[E]I w[Am]atched you as you dance
So full of [G]life, so full of chance
And hoped for [F]you,
I could be suitable
I watched you through the years
Watched your childhood disappear
[Em]My love so strong in[Am]
me
[Bb]You were nineteen [Gm]when
you touched me
And my [Bdim]whole life rushed on by
Making [G]love [Am]to you
Left me sus[G]pended in the [F]air
Your first [Am]time your silence told me
[Em]You were scared

[Interlude 1]
[F][Bdim]
[E][Am][G][F]
[G][F]

[Verse 4]
Three years fly by
They share love's highs
And suffer through love's [Am]lows
There [F]was so much he did wrong
But he was too weak to know
The tables [G]have turned now
It's her turn to [Esus4]grow
And [E]she says, [Dm]"No, I just can't tell you
[G]It's easier [Dm]to l[Am]ie"
And I screamed,
[Dm]"Tell me have you slept with him?"
She answered when she [Am]cried

[Verse 5]
[Am]When the [F]hurt comes
You can't block it
You can't hide
[Em]

[Verse 6]
I can't [Am]chain you so I'll let you go
[G]If you find out all you need
to know
You could come [F]back
You could give me one more [E]try

[Verse 7]
When the [Am]hurt [C]comes
You close your eyes
[Dm]As if to d[Bdim]rown out t[E]he pain
You're los[Am]ing a piece of your soul
And you fight [G]like a fool
[F]To find it again
Well God, let me find her

[Outro 1]
again
[Bdim][E][Am][G][F]
