Hurtv3

I have taken the best of the previous versions and put them together the way I like to

play the song. I've also fixed the chord issue to sound more like the recording.

4/4 Time

*Notes within “()” are to be played very lightly

In the intro play both lines. For the verses, play only the second line and repeat the

second line four times as indicated in chord progression. For the transition, add some

light notes to the first two Am finger patterns. For example:

Throughout all the chords in the chorus you can keep your pinky on the high G note (e

string 3rd fret) to capture the note the piano is playing in the background if you want

a more authentic/full sound. There should be four accented down strums for each chord

with a light bass note of each chord played in between each strum.

Verse 1:

I hurt myself today to see if I still feel

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

The needle tears a hole the old familiar sting

C Dsus2 Am C D *G (*start chord strums)

Try to kill it all away but I remember everything

Chorus:

What have I become? My sweetest friend

Everyone I know goes away in the end

And you could have it all My empire of dirt

Am F G - *Am (*return to finger style)

I will let you down I will make you hurt

Instrumental transition: (see intro)

Verse 2:

I wear this crown of thorns upon my liar’s chair

Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair

Beneath the stains of time the feeling disappears

C Dsus2 Am C D *G (*start chord strums)

You are someone else I am still right here

Chorus:

What have I become? My sweetest friend

Everyone I know goes away in the end

And you could have it all My empire of dirt

I will let you down I will make you hurt

If I could start again A million miles away

Am F *G (*one single strum only)

I would keep myself I would find a way
