  C#        F# C#
Taking it slowly
A#m              F#  C#
I'm afraid to be lonely
C#      F#  C#
Nobody told me
      A#m                               F#
It's harder than I thought to tell the truth

It's gonna leave you in pieces
All alone with your demons
And I know that we need this
But I've been too afraid to follow through

Chorus:
 C#                 F#     C#
Hold me close and I won't leave
  A#m             G#               F# C#
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
 C#                   F#     C#
So much to say but I don't speak
      A#m          G#      F#   C#
And I hate that I let you stop me
  A#m                G#           F# C#
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody

Don't know where the time went
Stuck in the wrong mindset
And I let the rules bend
When I know that all along,
they're made to break, eh

You got me searching for reasons
To keep me from leaving
And then I have trouble breathing
I give myself another chance to stay, eh

Chorus

D#m7                            C#
One day before you know it, you will see
D#m7                         A#m G#
All of the pain and all the irony, yeah
D#m7                                A#m      C#
You'll feel the stinging and you'll think of me
          F#
'Cause it hurts when you hurt

Chorus:
Hold me close and I won't leave
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
So much to say, but I don't speak
And I hate that I let you stop me (Oh)
Hold me close and I won't leave (I won't leave)
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody
(Somebody, yeah)
So much to say, but I don't speak
And I hate that I let you stop me
'Cause it hurts when you hurt somebody, somebody
