transcribed by m_Pony
Capo on 1 (recording is in the key of F).

E                                      B
This ain't a good time, But when is it ever
           A                             E
I know the perfect time, And baby that's never
               E                             B
So don't you make it worse, don't change my weather *
           A                             E
I gotta change your mind, if it takes forever *
             C#m             B
So don't you dare  leave me now
           A             E
Throw my heart  on the ground
        C#m                B          F#m
Cause tonight  ain't the night  for sorrow
                        E
But you can hurt me tomorrow,

E         F#             A               E
  Okay...    It's on you...uh-huh-uh-huh...uh yeah, okay. 

E
 I used to be a strange fruit, Billie Holiday, 
F#
 then you got me by my roots, took the pain away
A
 I tried to question our direction, that was my mistake
E
 I had to ask you where we going baby, Marvin Gaye
E
 I used to do it like Sinatra, do it my way
F#
 Now I'm the Fugee, you're my Lauryn Hill that got away
A
 I felt we had an At Last love, Etta James
E
 But now I'm wondering...
                    E
If what I heard is true
                             F#
Then I know what you came to do
                                      A
Love may be blind but I'm looking at you
                                E
So before you pull the trigger... did you ever consider?

{CHORUS}
(no chord)       E                      B
This ain't a good time, But when is it ever
           A                             E
I know the perfect time, and baby that's never
             C#m           B
So don't you dare leave me now
         A            E
Throw my heart on the ground
        C#m             B          F#m
Cause tonight ain't the night for sorrow...
                        E
But you can hurt me tomorrow,

E
You can hurt me, You can hurt me, You can hurt me, 
        F#
You can hurt me, You can hurt me, You can hurt me, You can hurt me, 
        A
You can hurt me tomorrow, You can hurt me tomorrow, 
        E
You can hurt me tomorrow but girl save it for tomorrow.

(chord pattern  E  F#  A  E  repeats during verses)
 If you can take a rain check on a stormy night
 Then I will love you 'til you're old, like you're Betty White
 You can hurt me any other day, pick a fight
 But not on Monday, Tuesday, wednesday, Thursday, Friday night
 And not the weekend either, cuz I got a song to write
 I promise I'mma hear you out when the time is right
 Let's have a talk, August 7, 20-99
 At your place or mine?

{chorus}

E                            F#
Hey why you turn around and walk away
                        A          
I know you got a lot to say
                                    E
And I really want to talk about it,  Just not today, not today.

Is there an instrument to measure all the heartache, and
A looking glass so we can see where all the magic went
I need a button I can push so we can start again
Cause girl you bring me to my knees, Nancy Kerrigan......

{chorus}
E
You can hurt me, You can hurt me, You can hurt me, 
        F#
You can hurt me, You can hurt me, You can hurt me, You can hurt me, 
        A
You can hurt me tomorrow, You can hurt me tomorrow, 
        E                                                
You can hurt me tomorrow but girl save it for tomorrow.
