Alec Benjamin - Cause it hurts

I had a ^Amfriend I knew in the ^C9th grade and he ^Gdidn't come to class one day cause they ^Amfound something inside his ^Cbrain so they sent him ^Ghome

So I ^Amwent to see him after ^Cschool I said ^Gis there something I can do that might ^Ammake you feel more ^Ccomfortable and he told me ^Gno

He said I'm ^Amhappy that you ^Cmade it please don't ^Gtreat me like your patient I don't ^Amneed more med^Cication ^G

The ^Amonly way I k^Cnow that I'm ^Galive is cause it^D hurts So ^Amanything that ^Ctakes away my ^Gpain will make it ^Dworse Cause ^Amif I'm numb I ^Cmight as well be ^Gunderneath the ^Ddirt The ^Amonly way I ^Cknow that I'm ^Galive, that I'm ^Dalive is cause it hurts^{Am C G} is cause it hurts ^{Am C G}

And I ^Amwon't forget the things he ^Csaid every- ^Gtime I start to feel depressed to be ^Amgrateful that I still have ^Cbreath down inside my lungs^G

Cause with^Amout the darkness there's no ^Clight and with^Gout the pain there'd be no life so even ^Amwhen it hurts in^Cside, I won't try to ^Grun

I'll be ^Amhappy that I ^Cmade it I'll be ^Copen, I'll embrace it I won't ^Amtake no medi^Ccation ^G
