Tom: C
C F C
Taking it slowly
Am F C
I'm afraid to be lonely
C F C
Nobody told me
Am F
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 N.C.
But I've been too afraid to follow through
[Chorus]
C F C
Hold me close and I won't leave
Am G F C
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
C F C
So much to say but I don't speak
Am G F C
And I hate that I let you stop me
Am G F C
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
[Verse 2]
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
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
Am F C
I give myself another chance to stay
[Chorus]
C F C
Hold me close and I won't leave
Am G F C
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
C F C
So much to say but I don't speak
Am G F C
And I hate that I let you stop me
Am G F C
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
[Bridge]
Dm7 C
One day before you know it, you will see
Dm7 Am G
All of the pain and all the irony, yeah
Dm7 Am C
You'll feel the stinging and you'll think of me
F
'Cause it hurts when you hurt
[Chorus]
C F C
Hold me close and I won't leave
Am G F C
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
C F C
So much to say but I don't speak
Am G F C
And I hate that I let you stop me
C F C
Hold me close and I won't leave
Am G F C
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
C F C
So much to say but I don't speak
Am G F C
And I hate that I let you stop me
Am G F C
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
