throughout the song, but the guitarwork is very well done.

Six o'clock in the morning
My head is ready to explode
I can't believe I made it home alive
I don't remember where I went
Or what I was drinking
But I know its made me sick
And i'm not denying
That I get this way
When I try to get over you
I get this way
When I try to get over you...

Sometimes it hurts
G A
So much to lose the one you love
D Bb
Sometimes it hurts
G A
So much to lose the one you love
I try so hard to hate you
But it only makes things worse
I only end up hating myself
And as my hatred goes
So do the lies
It's hard to face the truth sometimes
God I feel so useless
God I hate myself
When I try to get over you
I hate myself
How will I ever get over you
D Bb
Sometimes it hurts
G A
So much to lose the one you love
D Bb
Sometimes it hurts
G A
So much to lose the one you love
And after all this time
You'd think I'd understand the way you feel
but no
D E
I only think about myself
F G Bb
And its driving you away
A
I always knew it would one day
D Bb
Sometimes it hurts
G A
So much to lose the one you love
D Bb
Sometimes it hurts
G A
So much to lose the one you love
D Bb
Sometimes it hurts
G A
So much to lose the one you love
D Bb
Sometimes it hurts
G A
So much to lose the one you love
