G
Stupid, cheap excuses
 D  
Paper-thin goodbyes
Em7
Don't know why I do this
C
It happens every time

The Devil on my shoulder
Says, "Maybe one more try"
I know he's from Hell, but
Hell, he might be right

    Am7      D
So, here we go
          G             Em7
Down this old, familiar road
    Am7      Em7
And we both know
         Dsus4           D
Where it goes, where it goes

Chorus:
   Em7                                Am7
But, sometimes you have to touch the flame
to know it burns
D                              G                D  
Sometimes you have to fall in love to know it hurts
Em7                             Am7
And somebody told me once that hearts
were made to break
D                           G               D  
And sometimes the only medicine is in the pain
             C                      D
Yeah, some things you just have to learn
          G
the hard way

We drew a line between us
It's invisible ink
I try so hard to leave this
But you can't fight gravity

So, here we go
Down this old, familiar road
And we both know
Where it goes
Where it goes
But

Chorus:
Sometimes you have to touch the flame
to know it burns
Sometimes you have to fall in love
to know it hurts
And somebody told me once that
hearts were made to break
And sometimes the only medicine is in the pain
Yeah, some things you just have
to learn the hard way

Em7            C                 G
Oh, when will we both learn our lesson
    D
And end this?
Em7            C               G
Oh, when will we both get the message?
   D
I guess that

Chorus:
Sometimes you have to touch the flame
to know it burns
Sometimes you have to fall in love to know it hurts
Somebody told me once that hearts were made to break
Sometimes the only medicine is in the pain
Yeah, some things you just have to learn
the hard way
