Sometimes It Hurts – Tindersticks
From the criminally-underrated ‘Waiting For The Moon’.
Not sure about the first F in the chorus; rest sounds ok.
[Verse]
CYou’Gre wasting your time coming ‘round here
FWhat got yCou to thinking there was something new going on?
CYou’Gre wasting your time coming ‘round here
FWhat GgoCt you to thinking I had a different song?
CBeen Glying awake all night trying to figure out
FIt’s Cthat old song – keeps running around in my head
CYou’rGe wasting your time coming ‘round here
FBut GwhatC’s good for me is not necessarily for the best
So play it for me
[Chorus]
DSomBbetimCes it works, sometimes it don’t, you know
FSome GdaCys it hurts, some days it feels real good
DSomBbetimCes it hurts, sometimes it don’t, you know
FSome GdaCys it works so good I can see my way home
[Verse]
CBeen cliGmbing these old walls warning and screaming what a cheat you are
F‘Cause Cnothing else comes near me, you got this trick going on
CMay hGave the sharpest chisel, the keenest eye
FIt’Gs jCust that old song, I’ve only got the one
So play it for me
[Chorus]
DSomBbetimCes it works, sometimes it don’t, you know
FSome GdaCys it hurts, some days it feels real good
DSomBbetimCes it hurts, sometimes it don’t, you know
FSome GdaCys it works so good I can see my way home
Middle Eight:
AmI may Gunscrew the top just to hear that sound
FI may Cpour a little just to see the light shining through
AmA littGle sip, but no more
FHey, Gyou Cbelong to me now, don’t you wander too far
So play it for me
And I’ll play it for you
So play it for me
And I’ll play it for you
[Chorus]
DSomBbetimCes it works, sometimes it don’t, you know
FSome GdaCys it hurts, some days it feels real good
DSomBbetimCes it hurts, sometimes it don’t, you know
FSome GdaCys it works so good I can see my way home
Coda:

FWhat oCnce burned so brightly is all but smoke in the air
CYou’rGe wasting your time coming ‘round here
FWhat GgoCt you to thinking I had a different song?
