             E     F#
I've walked around broken
B           C#m
emotionally frozen
        E          F#
Getting on getting on

Chorus 1:
           G#m
How do you love someone?
        E
Without getting hurt
           B
How do you love someone?
        F#/Bb
Without crawling

in the dirt
       G#m
So far in my life
            E
Clouds have blocked the 
               G#m
sun How do you love how 
       F#   E
do you love someone?
           G#m
How do you love how
       F#       E
do you love someone?

G#m
I was always the chosen child
           C#m
To be the scandal I became
     F#
They told me I'd never survive
       G#m
but survival's my middle name

Refrain 2:
              E     F#
I've walking around hoping
B           C#m
just barely coping
        E          F#
Getting on getting on

sun How do you love how 
       F#   E
do you love someone?
           G#m

             C#m
It's hard to talk
   E
to see what's deep inside
             C#m
It's hard to tell the truth
E
when you've always lied
