G                C         G      C               D        A     Am7
     You say you want to seek the truth, but itʼs hard to find
          D               G            D        C       F    C    G
No one to help you, your friends donʼt have the time   Hey, Hey, Hey
        C     G            C                  D   A    Am7
So you ride around in your car. switch on the radio
            D         Am7                D                    Am7
You want to relate to      something you once read in a book
               D      G      D      G
What kind of a way to try to take a look
C             D                 C     D     G
Until I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way
            C                 D             C         D       G
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face grey
            C               D
Until I got hurt, ʼtill got hurt, why didnʼt I
  C      D           G
I didnʼt think of this until I got hurt
            D           C          D               G   F Em Dm C G
ʼTill I got hurt. baby.   I didnʼt knowʼ what love is

You say you want to learn to laugh ʼcause 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 heʼs just a hoaxer donʼt 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, ʼtill I got hurt, why didnʼt I
I didnʼt think of this until I got hurt
ʼTill I got hurt, baby, I didnʼt know what love is

Bm    Em    C           G           Am
Young son, donʼt let me down, young son
    Em                   Am   D       G
Iʼm trusting you to keep on, never turn away now
Bm   Em    C       G            Am
Hold on, never let go, now hold on
Em                            Am
Turn your heart to the bright sun
          D         G
Love will come your way
         A                     D
Cos ʼtill you make that final show
G            Em        C                  D       G
Youʼll never know what love youʼve been missing
G7         C  D7  G
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 oneʼll come along
(But wishful thinking, boy) any minute now You might be gone
Iʼd 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 didnʼt know which way
Until I got hurt, ʼtill I got hurt, why didnʼt I
I didnʼt think of this until I got hurt
ʼTill I got hurt, baby, I didnʼt know what love is
C           D          C      D              G      F  Em Dm C G
Until I got hurt, oh I didnʼt know what love is
