Intro: G D C Em
G
I look for my keys somewhere buried in the grass
D
She's riding her tail lights over the broken glass
C Em
On a highway from nowhere, hell-bent on going back
G
Where did she come from, where do I go?
D
Each time that I fall, you know it's just another show
C Em
Well, the credits keep on rolling and I'm the last to know
G D
And it's a long, cold road tonight
C Em
And I'm wandering, without a fight
G
So tell me why you want to hurt this way
C
Why you want to hurt this way
G C
Why you want to hurt this way
G
Shine it all, don't be ashamed
C
Nothing ever stays the same
G C
Why you want to hurt this way
Em
G
Open the screen door, the transistor plays
D
An old Springsteen song, from my father's glory days
C Em
Mum's in the kitchen, tryin'a hide her swollen face
G
The old man's tying one on tight, he looks the other way
D
I hold in every word, there's just too much to say
C Em
I've got to rise above this madness, before I go insane
G
So tell me why you want to hurt this way
C
Why you want to hurt this way
G C
Why you want to hurt this way
G
Shine it all, don't be ashamed
C
Nothing ever stays the same
G C
Why you want to hurt this way
Em G Em
