Loving can hurt
C#m
Loving can hurt sometimes
Loving can hurt sometimes
B A
But it’s the only thing that I know
But it’s the only thing that I know
E
When it gets hard
When it gets hard
C#m
You know it can get hard sometimes
You know it can get hard sometimes
B A
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive
It is the only thing that makes us feel alive
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m A
We keep this love in a photograph
We keep this love in a photograph
E B
We made these memories for ourselves
C#m
Where our eyes are never closing
Where our eyes are never closing
A
Hearts are never broken
Hearts are never broken
E B
Times forever frozen still
[Chorus]
E
So you can keep me inside the pocket
B
Of your ripped jeans
Of your ripped jeans
C#m
Holdin’ me closer ’til our eyes meet
Holdin’ me closer ’til our eyes meet
A
You won’t ever be alone
You won’t ever be alone
E
Wait for me to come home
[Verse]
Loving can heal
Loving can mend your soul
And it’s the only thing that I know (know)
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of ya
And it’s the only thing we take with us when we die
Loving can heal
Loving can mend your soul
And it’s the only thing that I know (know)
I swear it will get easier
Remember that with every piece of ya
And it’s the only thing we take with us when we die
[Repeat Pre-Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus except last line]

E
And if you hurt me
And if you hurt me
B
That’s OK, baby, only words bleed
C#m
Inside these pages you just hold me
A
And I won’t ever let you go
And I won’t ever let you go
C#m
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
A
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
E
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
B
Wait for me to come home
Wait for me to come home
E
Oh you can fit me
Oh you can fit me
B
Inside the necklace you got when you were 16
Inside the necklace you got when you were 16
C#m
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
A
Keep it deep within your soul
Keep it deep within your soul
E
And if you hurt me
B
Well, that’s OK, baby, only words bleed
Well, that’s OK, baby, only words bleed
C#m
Inside these pages you just hold me
A
And I won’t ever let you go
And I won’t ever let you go
[Outro]
E
When I’m away
When I’m away
B
I will remember how you kissed me
C#m
Under the lamp post back on 6th street
A
Hearing you whisper through the phone,
Hearing you whisper through the phone,
E
“Wait for me to come home.”
“Wait for me to come home.”
