Hurt

Johnny Cash

Key: Am (G harp in 3rd position)

Verse

-6 7 -6 6 -5 -6 -4 -5 -4 -5 6 -6

 I hurt myself today to see if I still feel  

-6 7 -6 6 -5 -6 -4 -5 -4 6 -4 -4

 I focus on the pain, the only thing that's real  

-6 7 -6 6 -5 -6 -4 -5 -4 -5 -4 -6 

The needle tears a hole, the old familiar sting  

-6 -6 7 -6 6 -5 -6 -4 -5 -4 -5 -4 -5 4 4 

try to kill it all away, but I remember everything  

Chorus

7 -6 -6 -5 -5 -5 6 -5 6 

What have I become, my sweetest friend  

7 -6 -6 -5 -5 -5 -4 -5 6 4 4 

Everyone I know goes away in the end  

-5 6 -5 -6 -5 -5 6 6 6 -5 6 

And you could have it all, my empire of dirt

 6 -5 -6 -5 -5 6 -5 -6 4 -4 

I will let you down, I will make you hurt
