Love doesn’t have to hurt    (intro)    (midi)    (sample)

 

   Am                    F                  G       - F

1.      I learned a lesson in my life,

                                   C              - F - Am - G

    but I learned it the hard way.

                          C                  G       F

    I don’t know why I used to fall in love

                              G          - F - Am - G

    with the wrong kind.

                    F                      G

    Then I’d suffer so much pain,

             Am                         F

    but I only had myself to blame.

                     Dm                          G

    Baby, you came in the nick of time.

                      C                 Dm        G     - F

To show me love doesn’t have to hurt,

              C    - F       G

to feel good,     it’s such a revelation.

         Am         Dm        F        G

With you I can be myself, I know I should,

Dm                            - F                        

     don’t have to cry,       don’t have to fight,

Am                          - D

    don’t have to die       night after night.

Show me, love, love, love

2.    Darling now it seems to me

                                 C              - F - Am - G

    like I’ve always known you.

                       C                G           F

    But I still shudder when I think back

                           G          - F - Am - G

    on the lonely times.

                     F                      G

    I used to keep all my feelings inside,

                    Am                                 F

    from your eyes I have nothing to hide,

                    Dm                          G

    baby, you came in the nick of time.
