Intro: G Em (2x) 

 G               Em 
Let's find something that can last. 
 C/G 
Like cigarette ash, 
 G                      D/F# 
The world is collapsing around me. 
 D/F#              C/G 
Let's try to do the best we can. 
 C/G       D          G        D/F#        G       D/F# 
I think I need more than the flowers and letters, man. 
        G       D/F#            G             D/F# 
It's not that I don't try, it's that you won't again 
       D/F#             C/G                  D/F# 
And it hurts too much to laugh about it 
    D/F# 
(Yes it hurts too much to laugh about it) 

 G                           Em 
Hey, please think about it, friend. 
 C/G                     G                      D/F# 
I know you're lonely, I'm here writing in the dark 
 D/F#           C/G 
Tryin' to get the balls 
 C/G               D/F# 
But it hurts too much to ask 

 G                       Em 
Dear I Need Someone Who's Lost, 
 C/G                  G                    D/F# 
Tell me how not to stop all these tears and fears 
 D/F#              C/G 
So nothing else will drop, 
  C/G            D/F# 
So all this pain will stop. 
   D/F#           C/G 
But if it hurts too much ask 
   C/G            D/F# 
If it hurts too much to ask 

G               Em 
It's not that I don't cry, 
C/G                D/F# 
It's that I have to hide, 
C/G                D/F# 
Yeah it's that I have to hide 
  D/F#                  C/G 
So I won't be there to ask. 
 C/G                  D/F# 
So I won't be there to ask. 
           C/G                  D/F# 
No, I won't be the one to ask. 
D/F# 
I won't be there to ask. 
    C/G                                 D/F# 
It hurts too much to laugh about it. 
     D/F#                C/G              D/F# 
Yes it hurts too much to laugh about it. 
       D/F#              C/G (let ring) 
Yes it hurts too much to laugh about it, man.
