G Em
Let's find something that can last
C/G
Like cigarette ash
G D/F#
The world is collapsing around me
C/G
Let's try to do the best we can
D G D/F# G D/F#
I think I need more than the flowers and letters, man
G D/F# G D/F#
It's not that I don't try, it's that you won't again
C/G D/F#
And it hurts too much to laugh about it
D/F#
(Yes it hurts too much to laugh about it)
[Verse 2]
G Em
Hey, please think about it, friend
C/G G D/F#
I know you're lonely, I'm here writing in the dark
C/G
Tryin' to get the balls
D/F#
But it hurts too much to ask
[Verse 3]
G Em
Dear, I need someone who's lost
C/G G D/F#
Tell me how not to stop all these tears and fears
C/G
So nothing else will drop
D/F#
So all this pain will stop
C/G
But if it hurts too much ask
D/F#
If it hurts too much to ask
[Verse 4]
G Em
It's not that I don't cry
C/G D/F#
It's that I have to hide
C/G D/F#
Yeah it's that I have to hide
C/G
So I won't be there to ask
D/F#
So I won't be there to ask
C/G D/F#
No, I won't be the one to ask
D/F#
I won't be there to ask
C/G D/F#
It hurts too much to laugh about it
D/F# C/G D/F#
Yes it hurts too much to laugh about it
D/F# C/G
Yes it hurts too much to laugh about it, man
