intro : Am F C G Am F C x2

G
7 : 42 in the morning
G C
8 seconds before it all sinks in
G
put your best face on for the world
G C
fake another smile and just pretend
Em F
but you’re just puttin’ off the pain
Em F
nothing’s ever really gonna change

[ chorus : ]
Am F
so let it hurt , let it bleed
C G
let it take you right down to your knees
Am F
let it burn to the worst degree
C G
may not be what you want , but it’s what you need
F G
sometimes the only way around it
C G F ( let it ring )
is to let love do it’s work
Am F C G
and let it hurt
Am F C G
yeah , let it hurt

3 : 28 in the morning
countin’ up the spaces between the rain
you’re gettin’ used to the rocks at the bottom
your heart goes numb , but the lonely stays the same
and that’s the price you’re bound to pay

Em F G
and there’s really nothing anyone can say
F G
oh , there’s only just one way

[ chorus : ]
so let it hurt , let it bleed
let it take you right down to your knees
let it burn to the worst degree
may not be what you want , but it’s what you need
sometimes the only way around it
is to let love do it’s work

Fm
so go on
Am F C G
yeah , let it hurt
