Em C Am D G


[Verse 1]
Em
Mama never taught me how to love
C
Daddy never taught me how to feel
Am
Mama never taught me how to touch
        D                     G
Daddy never showed me how to heal
Em
Mama never set a good example
C
Daddy never held mama's hand
Am
Mama found everything hard to handle
        D                    G
Daddy never stood up like a man


[Pre-Chorus 1]
                 Em
I've walked around, broken

Emotionally frozen
           C
Getting it on
             G/B
Getting it wrong


[Chorus]
            Em                     C
How do you love someone without getting hurt?
             G
How do you love someone without
   D
crawling in the dirt?
        Em                       C
So far in my life, clouds have blocked the sun
             G               D
How do you love, how do you love
   C
someone?
            G                D
How do you love, how do you love
  C
someone?


[Verse 2]
        Em
I was always the chosen child
             C
The biggest scandal I became
       Am
They told me I'd never survive
       D                  G
But survival's my middle name


[Pre-Chorus 2]
              Em
I've walked around, hopin'

Just barely copin'
           C
Getting it on
             G/B
Getting it wrong


[Chorus]
            Em                    C
How do you love someone without getting hurt?
             G
How do you love someone without
   D
crawling in the dirt?
       Em                        C
So far in my life, clouds have blocked the sun
            G                D
How do you love, how do you love
   C
someone?
            G                D
How do you love, how do you love
   C
someone?


[Bridge]
              Em       C
It's hard to talk, to see what's deep inside
              Em        C         D
It's hard to tell the truth when you've
        G
always lied


[Instrumental]
Em C D C Em C D G


[Chorus]
             N.C.                C
How do you love someone without getting hurt?
            G
How do you love someone without
   D
crawling in the dirt?
       Em                        C
So far in my life, clouds have blocked the sun
            G                D
How do you love, how do you love
   C
someone?
            G                D
How do you love, how do you love
   C
someone?
            Em               C
How do you love someone and make it last?
            G
How do you love someone without
   D
tripping on the past?
       Em                        C
So far in my life, clouds have blocked the sun
            G                 D
How do you love, how do you love
   C
someone?
            G                 D
How do you love, how do you love
   C
someone?
