Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
When it [Gm]hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
Why's it [Am]feel so good?
(When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad)
When it [Am]hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
Why's it [Am]feel so good?

[Verse 1]
(When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad)
[Gm]I loved real, real hard once
[Am]But the love wasn't returned
[Gm]Found out the man I'd die for
[Am]He wasn't even concerned
[Gm]I tried, and I tried, and I trie[Am]d
To keep him in my life
(to keep him in my [Gm]life)
I cried, and I cried, and I cried
[Am]But I couldn't make it right

[Pre-chorus 1]
[E]But I,
[Am]I loved the young man
[E]And if you ever been in love
[Am]Then you'd understand

[Chorus 1]
That what you [Dm]want might make you cry
What you need might pass you by
If you don't [Am]catch it (if you don't catch it)
(if you don't catch it)
And what you [Dm]need ironically
Will turn out what you want to be
If you just [Am]let it (if you just let it)

[Verse 2]
If you just let it (if you just let it)
[Gm]See, I thought this feeling
[Am]It was all that I had
[Gm]But how could this be love
[Am]And make me feel so bad?
(gave [Gm]up my power)
Gave up my [Am]power
I existed for you
[Gm]But who-ever knew[Am]

[Pre-chorus 2]
The voo-doo you'd do
[E]But I, I l[Am]oved the young man
[E]And if you ever been in love
[Am]Then you'd understand

[Chorus 2]
That what you [Dm]want might make you cry
What you need might pass you by
If you don't [Am]catch it (if you don't, you don't)
(if you don't)
And what you [Dm]need ironically
Will turn out what you want to be
If you just [Am]let it (if you don't, you don't)
(if you don't, you don't)

[Chorus 3]
See what you [Dm]want might make you cry
What you need might pass you by
If you don't [Am]catch it (if you don't, you don't)
(if you don't, you don't)
And what you [Dm]need ironically
Will turn out what you want to be
If you just [Am]let it
If you just let it

[Outro 1]
When it [Gm]hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
Why's it [Am]feel so good?
(When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad)
When it [Gm]hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
When it hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
Why's it [Am]feel so good?
(When it hurts so bad, when it hurts so bad)
When it [Gm]hurts so bad (when it hurts so bad)
So bad (when it hurts so bad)
Why's it feel so [Am]good? (when it hurts so bad)
(When it hurts so bad)
Why's it feel so [Gm]good?
[Am]
