Johnny Cash - Hurt

Intro (*): Am, C, D (2x)

Verse 1 (*):

Am C D Am
I hurt myself today

C D Am
To see if I still feel

C D Am
I focus on the pain

C D Am
The only thing that's real

C D Am
The needle tears a hole

C D Am
The old familiar sting

C D Am
Try to kill it all away

C D G(strum)
But I remember everything

Chorus (strum all):

C F C
What have I become?

G
my sweetest friend

C F
Everyone I know

C G
Goes away in the end

C F
You could have it all

C
My empire of dirt

G C
I will let you down

F Am (*)
I will make you hurt

Verse 2 (*):

C D Am
I wear this crown of thorns

C D Am
Upon my liar's chair

C D Am
Full of broken thoughts

C D Am
I cannot repair

C D Am
Beneath the stains of time

C D Am
The feeling disappears

C D Am
You are someone else

C D G(strum)
I am still right here

Chorus (strum all):

C F C
What have I become?

G
My sweetest friend

C F
Everyone I know

C G
Goes away in the end

C F
You could have it all

C
My empire of dirt

G C
I will let you down

F C
I will make you hurt

G C
If I could start again

F C
A million miles away

G C
I would keep myself

F
I would find a way

Thanks for a great tab, EB. I got a Johnny Cash CD for Christmas that has "Hurt" on it and I had been thinking about giving it a try.

Thanks again,
Jim-Bone
