E                      A G E                       A G A
All you true believers...    all you wide receivers...
A                                  E      A G E 
Anyone who calls this world their home...
E                    A G E                             A G A
When the war is over...     I’ll still be your brother...
A                                      E      A G E 
Maybe we can sort the right from the wrong...
C#m                                 E      A G E 
Let me put it back the way it was
C#m                                 B
Let me turn the lights on just because

[chorus]
E                 C#m
Love is a hurting thing
E                       C#m       B       E
Ah but love is the only thing... anymore

[Verse 2]
E                        A G E                       A G A
All you American dreamers...    all you gay deceivers...
A                                        E      A G E 
Who will cross their hearts and hope to die...
E                      A G E                             A G A
Bring your x-ray vision...  from the bedroom to the kitchen...
A                                      E      A G E 
I’ve seen it all you don’t have to be shy...
C#m                                   E      A G E 
Who will put it back the way that it was
C#m                                      B
And who will turn the lights off just because?

[chorus]
E                 C#m
Love is a hurting thing
E                       C#m       B       E
Ah but love is the only thing... anymore

E                    A G E                           A G A
All you happy hookers...    all you night club bookers...
A                                  E      A G E 
Anyone who has fallen from their throne...
E                               A G E                         A G A
There’s a rainbow in the gutter...    dewdrops in the shutters...
A                                        E      A G E 
I’m out here in the garden and I’m all alone...
C#m                                    E      A G E 
So let me put it back the way that it was
C#m                                 B
Let me turn the lights off just because

[chorus]
E                 C#m
Love is a hurting thing
E                       C#m       B       E
Ah but love is the only thing... anymore
