Verse 1:
Am        F                D
How can I say this without breaking
Am        F                D
How can I say this without taking over
Am        F           D
How can I put it down into words
          Am         F           D
When it's almost too much for my soul alone

I loved and I loved and I lost you
  F           G           D
I loved and I loved and I lost you

And it hurts like hell

Yeah it hurts like hell

I don't want them to know the way I loved you
Am            F            D
I don't think they'd understand it, no

Bridge:
F                    G
Dreams fight with machines
          D
Inside my head like adversaries
F                G
Come wrestle me free
               D         D
Clean from the war
 

F                       G
Your heart fits like a key
         D
Into the lock on the wall
          F               G
I turn it over, I turn it over

But I can't escape

I turn it over, I turn it over

  F           G           Am
I loved and I loved and I lost you
  F           G           D
I loved and I loved and I lost you
       F
And it hurts like hell
        D                     D
Yeah it hurts like hell
