[Verse 1]
C G
Looking out at the wide, wild world
F C G
It’s a lot for the boys and girls
C G
There’s a lot of bad things out there
F
When they nod and they just don’t care
C G
You’ve got imagination

[Chorus]
F G C Am
If it hurts to love
Dm G C G
Better do it anyway

[Verse 2]
C G
A friend of mine was a friend of yours
F
It’s a gift, but it’s always a curse
C G
To go on without it
C G
You caught a ride from a bad, bad heart
F
It’s the thing that tears you apart
C G
It’s got to come from something

[Bridge]
F G C Am
If it hurts to love you
Dm G C G
Should I walk away?

[Instrumental]
C G F C G
C G F C G

[Chorus]
F G C Am
If it hurts to love
Dm G C G
You better do it anyway
F G C Am
If it hurts too much
Dm G C G
Well, I loved you anyway

[Verse 3]
C G
Looking out at the wide, wild world
F C G
It’s a lot for the boys and girls
C G
You carve it out of a bad, bad heart
F C G
It’s the thing that tears us apart

[Chorus]
F G C Am
If it hurts to love
Dm G C G
Better do it anyway
