Alec Benjamin - Cause it Hurts (OLD DEMO)


Verse 1:
    DmDm             FF
I had a friend I knew in the ninth grade
    A minorAm
And he didn't come to class?one?day
      DmDm             FF
'Cause they found something inside his brain
           A minorAm
so they?sent him home
   DmDm          FF
So I went to see him after school
    A minorAm
I?said "Is?there something I?can do that
   DmDm
Might make you feel more comfortable?"
          A minorAm
And he told me "No"

Pre-Chorus:
       DmDm         FF
He said "I'm happy that you made it,
       A minorAm
please don't treat me like your patient
    DmDm      FF      A minorAm
I don't need more medication," mmm


Chorus:
  DmDm     FF       A minorAm           G+G
The only way I know that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts
  DmDm      FF       A minorAm           G+G
So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
    DmDm      FF        A minorAm         G+G
'Cause if I'm numb I might as well be underneath the dirt
  DmDm     FF       A minorAm
The only way I know that I'm alive,
        G+G         DmDm FF A minorAm
that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts
         DmDm FF A minorAm
Is 'cause it hurts


Verse 2:
   DmDm             FF
And I won't forget the things he said
   A minorAm
Every time I start to feel depressed
   DmDm             FF              A minorAm
To be grateful that I still have breath down inside my lungs
      DmDm             FF
'Cause without the darkness there's no light
    A minorAm
And without the pain there'd be no life so
 DmDm        FF            A minorAm
Even when it hurts inside I won't try to run

Pre-Chorus:
    DmDm      FF
I'll be happy that I made it,
    A minorAm
I'll be open, I'll embrace it
    DmDm      FF     A minorAm
I won't take no medication, mmm


Chorus:
  DmDm     FF       A minorAm           G+G
The only way I know that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts
  DmDm      FF       A minorAm           G+G
So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
    DmDm      FF        A minorAm         G+G
'Cause if I'm numb I might as well be underneath the dirt
  DmDm     FF       A minorAm
The only way I know that I'm alive,
        G+G         DmDm FF A minorAm
that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts
         DmDm FF A minorAm G+G
Is 'cause it hurts
  DmDm     FF       A minorAm
The only way I know that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts
  DmDm      FF       A minorAm
So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
    DmDm      FF        A minorAm
'Cause if I'm numb I might as well be underneath the dirt, mmm
  DmDm     FF       A minorAm
The only way I know that I'm alive,
                 DmDm FF A minorAm G+G
that I'm alive is 'cause it hurts
