Alec Benjamin - Cause It Hurts Chords

[Verse 1]
        Am                   C
I had a friend I knew in the 9th grade and he
G
didn't come to class one day cause they
Am                         C                      G
found something inside his brain so they sent him home
 
     Am                    C
So I went to see him after school I said
G
is there something I can do that might
Am                 C                          G
make you feel more comfortable and he told me no
 
 
[Pre-chorus]
            Am             C
He said I'm happy that you made it
             G
please don't treat me like your patient
        Am           C        G
I don't need more medication
 
 
[Chrous]
    Am          C            G                D
The only way I know that I'm alive is cause it hurts
   Am            C             G                 D
So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
      Am            C                G              D
Cause if I'm numb I might as well be underneath the dirt
    Am         C             G               D                      Am  C  G
The only way I know that I'm alive, that I'm alive is cause it hurts
                  Am  C  G
is cause it hurts
 
 
[Verse 2]
      Am                         C
And I won't forget the things he said every-
G
time I start to feel depressed to be
Am                         C                          G
grateful that I still have breath down inside my lungs
 
          Am                          C
Cause without the darkness there's no light and
    G
without the pain there'd be no life so even
Am              C                    G
when it hurts inside, I won't try to run
 
 
[Per-chorus]
        Am           C
I'll be happy that I made it
        C
I'll be open, I'll embrace it
        Am          C      G
I won't take no medication
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am         C             G                 D
The only way I know that I'm alive is cause it hurts
   Am             C            G                 D
so anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
      Am            C                G              D
cause if I'm numb I might as well be underneath the dirt
    Am         C             G               D                       Am  C  G
the only way I know that I'm alive, that I'm alive is cause it hurts
                  Am   C   G
is cause it hurts
N.C.
the only way I know that I'm alive is cause it hurts
N.C.
so anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
N.C.
cause if I'm numb I might as well be underneath the dirt(mmm)
