C                              G
Looking out at the wide, wild world
                             F  C G
It's a lot for the boys and girls
C                                 G
There's a lot of bad things out there
                                   F
When they nod and they just don't care
                 G
You've got imagination

Chorus:
F      G        C  Am
If it hurts to love
Dm     G         C G
Better do it anyway

a friend of mine was a friend of yours
It's a gift, but it's always a curse
To go on without it
You caught a ride from a bad, bad heart
It's the thing that tears you apart
It's got to come from something

Chorus:
If it hurts to love you
Should I walk away?

If it hurts to love
You better do it anyway
If it hurts too much
Well, I loved you anyway

Looking out at the wide, wild world
It's a lot for the boys and girls
You carve it out of a bad, bad heart
It's the thing that tears us apart

Chorus:
If it hurts to love
Better do it anyway
