Am
You know my will is broken
C
You've got my heart on hold
Am                    G
I'm lying here in pieces, so cold
Am
It gets so hard to handle
C
All the things you need to say
F                      Em             Am
But I guess I heard it all before anyway

Chorus:
Dm  C            G            Am
Is love such a blessing or a curse
Dm
Either way
C A#   Am
Truth hurts

Well there'll be no more running
Now I've got you face to face
I want to know who you've been loving in my place
You say I had it coming
Try to hold my head up high
Love gave me wings and left me paralyzed

Dm Am                     Dm
There's nothing left alive
      Am                   Gm
As we watch the spirits die
The world keeps turning
My heart keeps learning
E
Do you know where the guilty sleep

Babe I've got my pride
Somehow I will survive
The world keeps turning
My heart keeps learning
Do you know where the lonely sleep tonight

Another fallen angel
How far I just can't tell
Living without love is a living hell

Chorus:
Why is love such a blessing or a curse
Baby either way
Truth hurts

Babe I've got my pride
Somehow I will survive
My heart keeps learning
Don't know which is worse
But one thing that I know
Truth hurts
