F              C                      G
  Hurt people, hurt people's how it begins
    Dm            Em          F
And I don't wanna cause you pain
               C                           G
This ain't the way that I thought we would live


[Verse 1]
        F                        Am7
When I start to feel like I'm in trouble again
       G
I just keep it as friends 'cause I know how it ends
       F                     Am7
When I feel like I'll be the devil again
         G                        Dm           Em
I'll sit back and pretend like we both never met


[Pre-Chorus 1]
        F                       Am7
I found courage at 16, but lost it at 23
        G             Dm     Em
I'm not okay, I'm not okay
      F                       Am7
And I lost my self-esteem believing in a dream
       G
I lost my faith, I lost my faith, oh-oh


[Chorus]
F              C                      G
  Hurt people, hurt people's how it begins
    Dm            Em          F
And I don't wanna cause you pain
               C                           G     Dm  Em
This ain't the way that I thought we would live
F
You might think that I'm crazy
C
You might think you can save me
G                     Dm   Em
I wish it was that easy
         F                C                          G
Oh-oh-oh-oh, hurt people, hurt people, that's how it ends
    N.C.                      F    C   G
And I don't wanna cause you pain, eh, eh
    Am            G           F    C   G
No, I don't wanna cause you pain, eh, eh
    Am            G
No, I don't wanna cause you pain


[Verse 2]
         F                    Am7
When our cracks appear and we fall in-between
        G
Oh, you suddenly see this is far from your dreams
         F                 Am7
When the chaos comes it'll sweep us away
      G                       Dm             Em
I'm a slave to my ways, you deserve better days


[Pre-Chorus 2]
        F                       Am7
I found courage at 16, and lost it when you met me
           G              Dm     Em
That's not okay, It's not okay
         F                         Am7
So don't lose your self-esteem believing in a dream
         G
And lose your way, don't lose your faith, oh-oh


[Chorus]
F              C                      G
  Hurt people, hurt people's how it begins
    Dm            Em          F
And I don't wanna cause you pain
               C                           G     Dm  Em
This ain't the way that I thought we would live, oh
F
You might think that I'm crazy
C
You might think you can save me
G                     Dm   Em
I wish it was that easy
         F                C                          G
Oh-oh-oh-oh, hurt people, hurt people, that's how it ends
    N.C.                      F    C   G
And I don't wanna cause you pain, eh, eh
    Am            G           F    C   G
No, I don't wanna cause you pain, eh, eh
    Am            G
No, I don't wanna cause you pain


[Bridge]
F                 C
  Why won't you hear me when I say
G                  Dm        Em
  You're way too good for me anyway?
F                 C
  Why won't you hear me when I say
G
  You're way too good for me anyway?


[Chorus]
F              C                      G
  Hurt people, hurt people's how it begins
    Dm            Em          F
And I don't wanna cause you pain
               C                           G     Dm  Em
This ain't the way that I thought we would live, oh
F
You might think that I'm crazy (Crazy)
C
You might think you can save me (Save me)
G                     Dm   Em
I wish it was that easy (Easy)
         F                C                          G
Oh-oh-oh-oh, hurt people, hurt people, that's how it ends
    N.C.                      F    C   G
And I don't wanna cause you pain, eh, eh
    Am            G           F    C   G
No, I don't wanna cause you pain, eh, eh
    Am            G           F
No, I don't wanna cause you pain


[Outro]
C             G     Dm  Em  F
  Cause you pain
C                         G
I don't wanna cause you pain
