  G
1. I'd tell myself    You don't mean a thing
 Em
   And what we got    Got no hold on me
       C
   But when you're not there    I just crum-ble
  G
   I tell my-self    I don't care that much
 Em
   But I feel like I'm dy-in'    Till I feel your touch

        C                                      G
Chorus: On-ly love    On-ly love can hurt like this
                                 Em
        On-ly love can hurt like this
                                 C
        Must have been a dead-ly kiss
                                 G
        On-ly love can hurt like this

2. Say I would-n't care if you walk a-way
 Em
   But ev'-ry time you're there    I'm beg-ging you to stay
    C
   When you come close    I just trem-ble
  G
   And ev'-ry time    Ev'-ry time you go
 Em
   It's like a knife    That cuts right through my soul

        C                                      G
Chorus: On-ly love    On-ly love can hurt like this

                                 C
        Must have been a dead-ly kiss
                                 G
        On-ly love can hurt like this                         

                                 Em
        On-ly love can hurt like this
                                    C
        Your kis-ses burn-in' to my skin
                                 G
        On-ly love can hurt like this

       Em
 Bridge: But if the sweet-est pain
         C
         Burn-ing hot    Through my veins
                  D
         Love is tor-ture    Makes me more sure...
                                  G      G    Em   Em   C   C

        Must have been the dead-ly kiss

                                 G
        On-ly love can hurt like this
                                 Em
        On-ly love can hurt like this
                                   C
        Your kisses burn-ing to my skin
                                 G      G    Em  
        On-ly love can hurt like this |    |    |

        Em                       C      C
