Everybody hurts

D G9

D                    G9       D
 When the day is long and the night, 
                     G9
 the night is yours alone,
D                                 G9
 when you're think you've had too much
         D               G9   G9 F#m6 Em7
 of this life, well hang on.

                    A
 Don't let yourself go,
Em7                A
 'cause everybody cries 
Em7            A
 and everybody hurts 
     D
 sometimes.

G9                       D
 Sometimes everything is wrong. 
G9                      D     G9
 Now it's time to sing along.
D                      G9
 When your day is life alone,
D                          G9
 but you feel like letting go,
D                        G9
 you're sure you had too much 
         D               G9  G9 F#m6 Em7
 of this life, well hang on.

                  A
 'Cause everybody hurts.
Em7                   A
 Take comfort in your friends.
Em7            A
 And everybody hurts. 

F#                   Bm        F#
 Don't throw in your hand. Oh, no.
                     Bm   low d-string: 8-9-10  C
 Don't throw in your hand.
                      G9  low d-string: 8-9-10  C
 You feel like you're alone, 
                    A 
 no, no, you're not alone.

D G9

D                  G9          D
 If you're on your own in this life, 
                         G9
 the days and nights are long,
D                        G9
 You're sure you had too much 
         D          G9   G9 F#m6 Em7
 of this life, hang on. 

                  A
 'Cause everybody hurts
Em7            A
 and everybody cries. 
Em7            A
 And everybody hurts 
     D
 sometimes.

G9         D         G9
 Everybody hurts...
