[Intro]
C#m B A C#m B A C#m
 
 
[Verse]
 
C#m
I've been living for too long
 
With a feeling something's wrong
 
Like a thorn stuck in my side
     B            A
Just out of reach for me to pull it out
C#m
Now the picture's crystal clear
 
I can see that the end is near
 
We no longer have to pretend
    B           A
All things have got to come to an end
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C#m           E
This is gonna hurt
              B
This is gonna hurt you
              A
This is gonna hurt you
                   C#m
More than it hurts me
                  E
And I don't wanna hurt
                     B
That's why I'm gonna hurt you
                     A
That's why I'm gonna hurt you
                    C#m
It's how it's gonna be
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C#m
And they say what doesn't kill you
 
Well, I'm sure you know the rest
 
If you'd shut up for a second
       B                A
I could get this off my chest
C#m
'Cause I've been through way too much
 
And we've grown so out of touch
 
Now we can't see eye to eye
     B             A
It's time to kiss it goodbye
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
C#m           E
This is gonna hurt
              B
This is gonna hurt you
              A
This is gonna hurt you
                   C#m
More than it hurts me
                  E
And I don't wanna hurt
                     B
That's why I'm gonna hurt you
                     A
That's why I'm gonna hurt you
                    C#m
It's how it's gonna be
 
 
[Bridge]
 
 
This is gonna hurt you
 
That's how it's gonna be
 
This is gonna hurt you

One more step before I end it all
