Jean Shepard - How long does it hurt

^GHow ^Clong does it ^D7hurt when a ^Gheart breaks How long can you ^Cstand the ^Gpain How ^Clong does one ^D7dream when a ^Gdream dies And ^Conly the ^D7memories ^Gremain

It ^Cseems it must take ^Gforever To forget the love you once ^D7knew How ^Clong does it ^D7hurt when a ^Gheart breaks How ^Clong must the ^D7heart ache for ^Gyou

How ^Clong does it ^D7hurt when a ^Gheart breaks Oh how many ^Ctears must ^Gfall Be^Cfore one is ^D7free from the ^Gchains of A ^Clove that's ^D7beyond all ^Grecall

I ^Ckeep saying soon I'll ^Gforget you But somehow I never ^D7do How ^Clong does it ^D7hurt when a ^Gheart breaks As ^Clong as I ^D7keep loving ^Gyou
