 Verse 1:
 
 	Eb                              Ab/Eb
 	For every little kiss there's a little teardrop
 	Eb                              Ab/Eb
 	For every single thrill there's another heartache
 	Gm
 	The road is rough
 	Cm           [1: Ab  2,3: Fm7]
 	The going gets tough

 	Oh, love is a hurtin' thing
 
 Verse 2:
 
 	When you're in my arms I'm a king on a throne
 	But when we're apart I walk the streets alone
 	One day happiness
 	The next day, loneliness
 
 Bridge:
 
 	Eb6                               Ab            Bb
 	When love brings so much joy why must it bring such pain
 	Eb6                         Ab   Bb
 	Guess it's a mystery that nobody can explain

 Verse 3:
 
 	Maybe I'm a fool to keep on loving you
 	'Cause there may come a time you'll break my heart in two
 	But I want you so
 	I want you though I know that
 
 Coda:
 
 	 Bb  Bbmaj7 Gm             F
 	Love        is a hurtin' thing

 	Oh, love is a hurtin' thing  [fade]
