 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)
