[Verse 1]
Eb Ab/Eb
For every little kiss there's a little teardrop
Eb Ab/Eb
For every single thrill there's another heartache
Gm
The road is rough
Cm [1: Ab 2,3: Fm7]
The going gets tough
[Chorus]
Bb Bbmaj7 Gm F
[1: Yes] love is a hurtin' thing
Ab Abmaj7 Fm Bb
Oh, love is a hurtin' thing
[Verse 2]
When you're in my arms I'm a king on a throne
But when we're apart I walk the streets alone
One day happiness
The next day, loneliness
[Bridge]
Eb6 Ab Bb
When love brings so much joy why must it bring such pain
Eb6 Ab Bb
Guess it's a mystery that nobody can explain
Eb Ab Eb Ab
Gb Eb Cb Ab/Bb
[Instrumental]
Eb Ab/Eb Eb Ab/Eb
[Verse 3]
Maybe I'm a fool to keep on loving you
'Cause there may come a time you'll break my heart in two
But I want you so
I want you though I know that
[Coda]
Bb Bbmaj7 Gm F
Love is a hurtin' thing
Bb Bbmaj7 Gm F
Oh, love is a hurtin' thing [fade]
