This is the acoustic version of "Love Hurts" by Incubus. Basically the same progression
played throughout the song though I made up the Bm fingering since I don't know what it
is, but it sounds alright. I didn't include the solo (which is played by a 2nd electric
even in the acoustic version) since there are plenty of already perfectly tabbed
out there. For the refrain, just strum the standard appropriate chords. If you listen to
acoustic version, it's a no brainer. Hope this helps. Enjoy.
