Am                            E   D
It don't matter where you've been
Am                       Em  D
The people try to do you in
Am              Em D
Every day 'til dawn
         Am                 Em  D
There's some thievin' goin' on

Am
Oh, oh no
         E
Hurt me so

Chorus

You got a callous heart
From being torn apart
Now you labor every day
Love life drifts away

Oh, oh no
Hurt me so
