Intro:	Am	C	D	Am 	X2

Verse 1

C         D	   Am      C       D	 Am
I hurt myself today, to see if I still feel,
C      D         Am      C       D           Am
I focus all the pain, the only thing that?s real,
C        D          Am      C      D         Am
The needle tears a hole, the old familiar stain,
        C    D      Am             C    D        G
Try to kill it all away, but I remember everything.


Chorus

Am             F     C               G
What have I become, my sweetest friend,
Am              F      C	              G
Everyone one I know, goes away in the end,
Am                     F    G              G
And you could have it all, my empire of dirt,
Am               F   G                Am
I will let you down, I will make you hurt.

C	D	Am 	C	D	Am

Verse 2
 C               D      Am    C       D       Am
I wear this crown of thorns, upon my liars chair,
C        D          Am    C   D       Am
Full of broken thoughts, I cannot repair,
 C          D          Am      C        D      Am
Beneath the stains of time, the feelings disappear,
C           D     Am   C     D            G
You are someone else, I am still right here.


Chorus again then?

Am                  F   G                  G
If I could start again, a million miles away,
Am              F   G
I will keep myself, I would find a way.

A mesmorising song from the last studio album recorded by Cash, hurt is by far his most personal and reflective work. I found this most useful and have enjoyed learning to play it.Big up to franco

It sounds much better if you add a g note on your high e-string (3rd fret) during the chorus because it kind of fills in for the piano which is playing the g note.

Chorus chords with piano G note:
Am F C G(normal)
e--3--3--3--3
B--1--1--1--0
G--2--2--0--0
D--2--3--2--0
A--0-----3--2

This is a great tab. Johnny was a great man and it was a big loss for everyone when he died. This is a beautiful song.
