Intro: (G)  (C)  (G)  (C)

(C) When I was (G) younger
And (C) love was easy to (G) come by
(C) All it ever caught was (Em) my eye
I (Am) thought that's how it (D) worked
But now the (G) hunger
Is (C) harder to (G) satisfy
And it cuts (C) deeper than a (Em) knife
But it ain't (Am) love
It ain't (D) love until it (G) hurts (D)

(D) It ain't (G) love until it (C) hurts
Too (G) much to leave it a(Em)lone
It ain't (Am) love until it (C/B) cuts
(C) All the way to the (D) bone
No (G) matter how bad it (C) feels
When it (G) bleeds, you know it's (Em) real
The more it (Am) costs, the more it's (C) worth
Cause it ain't (D) love until it (G) hurts

(G)  (C)  (G)  (C)

You make a (G) few mistakes
You (C) give and take and learn to (G) bend
You become (C) enemies and best (Em) friends
But it's for (Am) better or for (D) worse
It takes the (G) heartaches
A (C) long way now and (G) then
To bring you (C) back together ag(Em)ain
But it ain't (Am) love
No, it ain't (D) love until it (G) hurts (D) 

(D) It ain't (G) love until it (C) hurts
Too (G) much to leave it a(Em)lone
It ain't (Am) love until it (C/B) cuts
(C) All the way to the (D) bone
No (G) matter how bad it (C) feels
When it (G) bleeds, you know it's (Em) real
The more it (Am) costs, the more it's (C) worth
Cause it ain't (D) love until it (G) hurts

(G)  (C)  (G)  (Em)  (Am)  (C/B)  (C)  (D)

(D) It ain't (G) love until it (C) hurts
Too (G) much to leave it a(Em)lone
It ain't (Am) love until it (C/B) cuts
(C) All the way to the (D) bone
No (G) matter how bad it (C) feels
When it (G) bleeds, you know it's (Em) real
The more it (Am) costs, the more it's (C) worth
Cause it ain't (D) love until it (G) hurts
Too (G) much to leave it a(Em)lone
It ain't (Am) love until it (C/B) cuts
(C) All the way to the (D) bone....
