Six o'clock in the morning

My head is ready to explode

I can't believe I made it home alive

I don't remember where I went

Or what I was drinking

But I know its made me sick

And i'm not denying

That I get this way

When I try to get over you

I get this way

When I try to get over you...

[D] Sometimes it hurts[Bb]

So much to los[G]e the one you love[A]

[D] Sometimes it hurts[Bb]

So much to los[G]e the one you love[A]


I try so hard to hate you

But it only makes things worse

I only end up hating myself

And as my hatred goes

So do the lies

It's hard to face the truth sometimes

God I feel so useless

God I hate myself

When I try to get over you

I hate myself

How will I ever get over you

[D] Sometimes it hurts[Bb]

So much to los[G]e the one you love[A]

[D] Sometimes it hurts[Bb]

So much to los[G]e the one you love[A]


And after all this time

You'd think I'd understand the way you feel

but no

D e
I only think about myself

[F] And its [G]driving you away[Bb]

[A] I always knew it would one day

[D] Sometimes it hurts[Bb]

So much to los[G]e the one you love[A]

[D] Sometimes it hurts[Bb]

So much to los[G]e the one you love[A]

[D] Sometimes it hurts[Bb]

So much to los[G]e the one you love[A]

[D] Sometimes it hurts[Bb]

So much to los[G]e the one you love[A]
