C#                  B
Is it an horrific dream
      G#m
Am I sinking fast
C#                    B
Could a person be so mean
       G#m
As to laugh and laugh

G
On my own
          F#
Could you ease my load
           F
Could you see my Pain
           F#
Could you please explain
The Hurting

Could you understand a child
When he cries in pain?
Could you give him all he needs
Or do you feel the same?

All along
You've been told you're wrong
When you felt it right
And you're left to fight
The hurting

Feel the sorrow

Touch the hurt and don't let go

don't let go, don't let go
Am
Get in line with the things you know
A#
Learn to cry
Like a baby
Fmaj7
Then the hurting won't come back
G             F#
And I'm back, and I'm back

Chorus

Is it an horrific dream?
The hurt, hurt, hurt
Is it an horrific dream?
The hurt, hurt, hurt
Is it an horrific dream?
The hurt, hurt, hurt
Is it an horrific dream?
The hurt, hurt, hurt
Is it an horrific dream?
The hurt, hurt, hurt
Is it an horrific dream?
The hurt, hurt, hurt
Is it an horrific dream?
The hurt, hurt, hurt
