Mika - Hurts 
Capo: 3
BmHow did we end up like thAis
DUnder a burning sGky?
BmSome things are better unsaAid. 
DIt's easier to liGe. 
I'm burning, but my Bmheart is on the wiAre.
Don't need a thousand guaDrds to lock me iGn.
Doesn't take a foBmol to start a fiAre. 
Solitary sDpark and wars beGgin. 
You say it's only woBmrds
AAnd that it will get eaGsier with time. 
Nothing's only woBmrds 
AThat's how hearts get hurt. 
I cDan't, I can't 
I cGan't stop hearing all the woBmrds you said
I cAan't stop hearing all the wDords you said 
I cGan't stop hearing all the wBmords you said
I cAan't stop hearing woBmrds. 
AThat's how hearts get hurt. 
BmHow did it all come to thDis?
GWe started off as frieDnds.
BmIt makes it easy to lDeave
If weG're strangers by the Dend. 
I'm burning, but my Bmheart is on the wiAre.
Don't need a thousand guaDrds to lock me iGn.
Doesn't take a foBmol to start a fiAre. 
Solitary sDpark and wars beGgin. 
You say it's only woBmrds
AAnd that it will get eaGsier with time. 
Nothing's only woBmrds 
AThat's how hearts get hurt. 
I cDan't, I can't 
I cGan't stop hearing all the woBmrds you said
I cAan't stop hearing all the wDords you said 
I cGan't stop hearing all the wBmords you said
I cAan't stop hearing woBmrds. 
AThat's how hearts get hurt. 
You say it's only woBmrds
AAnd that it will get eaGsier with time. 
Nothing's only woBmrds 
AThat's how hearts get hurt. 
You say it's only woBmrds
AIt doesn't matter Gif they're yours or mine
Nothing's only woBmrds 
AThat's how hearts get hurt. 
I cDan't, I can't 
I cGan't stop hearing all the woBmrds you said
I cAan't stop hearing all the wDords you said 
I cGan't stop hearing all the wBmords you said
I cAan't stop hearing woBmrds. 
ALets stop using words 
AThat's how hearts get hBmurt.
