A5               A5 
I cry myself to sleep each night 
D5 
Wishing I could hold you tight 
     A5                              E5 
Life seems so empty since you went away 
        A5                A5 
And the pillow where you lay your head 
     D5  
Now holds my empty dreams instead 
       E5 
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' 
             A5 
Since you're gone 
 
 
   E5                            D5 
It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day 
      E5                         D5   A5 
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely 
                             A5             D5 
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on 
       E5                                    A5 
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone 
 
 
     A5                 A5 
They say a man ain't supposed to cry 
     D5 
But when I see you passing by 
    A5                                    E5 
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears 
    A5                 A5 
The pillow where you lay your head 
    D5 
Now holds my empty dreams instead 
       E5                                    A5 
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone 
 
  
   E5                            D5 
It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day 
      E5                          D5   A5 
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely 
                             A5             D5 
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on 
       E5                                    A5   
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone 
      E5                                      A5 
Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
