Love me where it hurts

Intro: [Am][Dm]-[G][C]-[F][Dm][E7]

1. I say I'm [Am] fine when my coat's still [Dm] on

Keys in my [G] hand like I might [C] run

You ask me [F] nothing, you just move [Dm] slow

Like [E7] you already know

I keep my [Am] hurt in a careful [Dm] face

Behind a [G] laugh and a steady [C] face

But late at [F] night when the room gets [Dm] still

I feel [E7] what I never will

I'm good at leaving out the [Dm] truth

[G] Good at sounding bullet-[C] proof

But there's a [F] tiredness under my [Dm] skin

I don't [E7] know where to [Am] begin

I don't think your silence means you're [Dm] cold

I [G] think it's how you learn to [C] hold

Every [F] ache you couldn't [Dm] show

Every [E7] wound you couldn't [Am] close [A]

You don't have to make it [Dm] clear

You don't [G] have to disap-[C] pear

I can [F] love you without [Dm] needing

Every [E7] reason for your [Am] fear

Love me where it [Dm] hurts

Where the [G] words don't come out [C] right

Where I [F] hide behind "I'm [Dm] okay"

And [E7] lose myself at [Am] night

Love me when I'm [Dm] quiet

When my hands don't [G] know what to [C] do

When [F] I can't be [Dm] easy

Let me [E7] still be loved by [Am] you

[A] Hold me at the [Dm] edges

Where I'm [G] scared that I'll be [C] left

Don't ask me [F] to be whole first

[Dm] Just stay close [E7] to what is [Am] kept

Love me where it [Dm] hurts

Where the [G] tender parts are [C] worse

If you don't [F] leave the broken [Dm] places

I might [E7] learn they're not a [Am] curse

I learned to [Am] cry with the water on

So no one [Dm] knew when I came undone

I made my [G] sadness small and neat

Folded it [C] under clean white sheets

I used to fear I was [F] too much pain

Too many clouds in a [Dm] pretty frame

So I wore light like a [E7] borrowed dress

And called it happi-[Am] ness

But you don't laugh when my [Dm] voice gets thin

[G] You don't rush to [C] climb back in

[F] You leave a chair be-[Dm] side my grief

And let it breathe with [E7] me

[A] Love me where it [Dm] hurts

Where the [G] words don't come out [C] right

I will hear you [F] in the silence

[Dm] I will [E7] sit there through the [Am] night

Love me when I'm [Dm] quiet

When my hands don't [G] know what to [C] do

You don't have to [F] be easy

[Dm] To be [E7] held by someone [Am] true

Hold me at the [Dm] edges

Where I'm [G] scared that I'll be [C] left

Don't ask me [f] to be whole first

[Dm] Just stay close [E7] to what is [Am] kept

Love me where it [Dm] hurts

Where the [G] tender points are [C] worse

If you don't [F] leave the broken [Dm] places

I might [E7] learn they're not a [Am] curse

I don't need a [Dm] perfect kind of [G] love

Just one that doesn't [C] prune the softest [F] parts

I don't need a [Dm] promise made of [E7] gold

Just one hand [Am] patient with my heart

If I tremble, don't [Dm] look away

If I [G] fall quiet, I'll try to [C] stay

[F] We don't have to [Dm] heal tonight

Just don't make the hurting [E7] worse

Come and meet me in the [E7] dark

Love me where it [Am] hurts

Oh [Dm] oh oh [G] oh,

[C] love me [G] where it [Am] hurts

Oh [Dm] oh oh [G] oh

Love me where it [Am] hurts

Where I don't [Dm] know how to open

[G] Stay beside the [C] tender parts

[Am] And I'll try to [Dm] stay unbro-[G] ken

Love me where it [Am] hurts

When I [Dm] can't find the [G] words

If you hold me there [Am] gently

I'll [E7] try to love me [Am] first

[Dm] Don't leave [G] the tender [C] parts of [Am] me

Don't hide the [Dm] tired heart from [G] me

No need to [C] shine, no need to [Am] prove

Just let me [Dm] be [G] soft with [Am] you

If I say I'm [Dm] fine, I'll listen [G] twice

Love me where it hurts to-[Am] night

Uhm [Dm] uh, [G] uhm

Love me [C] where it hurts to-[Am] night

[Dm] Love me where it [E7] hurts to-[Am] night
