Hurt Me Once

Tone [G]

I'm [C]sure it was no[G]thing But you [C]never used to bring some[G]body else along

[C]Used to be our [G]thing [C]Going to a movie, [G]then we wander home

[C]All these little [G]landmines

[C]All these little things that [G]one can read two ways

[C]Like when you take every call [G]outside

[C]Seems that I've forgotten [G]how to read your face

[Bm]But I know you too [C]well to get it [D]wrong

 

If you have to [Am]hurt me, [C]...hurt me [G]once

If you have to[Am] end it, [C]...get it [G]done

You have all these [C]choices, [D]...I have [Em]none

You're all that [G]I have to [C]lose

Couldn't [G]hurt you if I wanted [C]to [D]

I've decided on [G]you

 

If [C]you keep it go[G]ing Then [C]one by one, the memo[G]ries will start to blur

You'll [C]ruin the good ones But I [G]

guess my photo album's none of your concern

Don't [C]humor me with kind[G]ness

There's [C]nothing kind about a [G]hundred small betrayals

[Bm]If you love me at [C]all, you'll kill it [D]now

 

If you have to [Am]hurt me, [C]...hurt me [G]once

If you have to[Am] end it, [C]...get it [G]done

You have all these [C]choices, [D]...I have [Em]none

You're all that [G]I have to [C]lose

Couldn't [G]hurt you if I wanted [C]to [D]

I've decided on [Am]you [C]...I've decided on [G]you

 

And if I'm [Am]disappointed It's 'cause [C]you're not the person I [G]knew

If I had it [C]my way, [D]I'd be kinder than [Em]you

I'm sure I'll fo[G]rgive you, and [C]soon

I'm a[G]shamed that I'm proud of it, [C]too [D]

I decided on [G]you
