G5                C5         G5      C5               D5        A5     A5
     You say you want to seek the truth, but it's hard to find
          D5               G5            D5        C5       F5    C5    G5
No one to help you, your friends don't have the time   Hey, Hey, Hey
        C5     G5            C5                  D5   A5    A5
So you ride around in your car. switch on the radio
            D5         A5                D5                    A5
You want to relate to      something you once read in a book
               D5      G5      D5      G5
What kind of a way to try to take a look

C5             D5                 C5     D5     G5
Until I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way
            C5                 D5             C5         D5       G5
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face grey
            C5               D5
Until I got hurt, 'till got hurt, why didn't I
  C5      D5           G5
I didn't think of this until I got hurt
            D5           C5          D5               G5   F5 E5 D5 C5 G5
'Till I got hurt. baby.   I didn't know' what love is

You say you want to learn to laugh 'cause music makes you cry
But the tears you shed are only in your eye
So you turn to any phoney mouth with a tale to tell
But he's just a hoaxer don't you know, selling peace and religion
Between his jokes and his karma chewing gum

Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was the same as you
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, I did not know what to do
Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I
I didn't think of this until I got hurt
'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is

B5    E5    C5           G5           A5
Young son, don't let me down, young son
    E5                   A5   D5       G5
I'm trusting you to keep on, never turn away now
B5   E5    C5       G5            A5
Hold on, never let go, now hold on
E5                            A5
Turn your heart to the bright sun
          D5         G5
Love will come your way
         A5                     D5
Cos 'till you make that final show
G5            E5        C5                  D5       G5
You'll never know what love you've been missing
G5         C5  D5  G5
Missing

You say you want to seek the truth but you work alone
No one to help you and nobody to push you on
So you sit at home drinking your wine, television on
You wait for a miracle, cos you say one day one'll come along
(But wishful thinking, boy) any minute now You might be gone
I'd like to help you brother but that would be wrong

Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I didn't know which way
Until I got hurt, 'till I got hurt, why didn't I
I didn't think of this until I got hurt
'Till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is
C5           D5          C5      D5              G5      F5  E5 D5 C5 G5
Until I got hurt, oh I didn't know what love is
