G7 
I cry myself to sleep each night 
C 
Wishing I could hold you tight 
     G                              D7 
Life seems so empty since you went away 
        G                G7 
And the pillow where you lay your head 
     C  
Now holds my empty dreams instead 
       D7 
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' 
             G 
Since you're gone 
 
 
  
   D7                            C 
It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day 
      D7                         C   G 
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely 
                             G7             C 
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on 
       D7                                    G 
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone 
 
 
 
  
     G                 G7 
They say a man ain't supposed to cry 
     C 
But when I see you passing by 
    G                                    D7 
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears 
    G                 G7 
The pillow where you lay your head 
    C 
Now holds my empty dreams instead 
       D7                                    G 
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone 
 
  
   D7                            C 
It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day 
      D7                          C   G 
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely 
                             G7             C 
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on 
       D7                                    G   
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone 
      D7                                      G 
Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
