[Chorus]
G
This is a hurt I can't handle
C G
and it cuts right through my skin
I've gone and burned my last candle
A7 D
till it's meeting at both ends
G
I swam across love's muddy river
C G
and I've sailed life's stormy sea
But this is a hurt I can't handle
A7 D G
and, Lord, it's killing me.
[verse]
C G
You know I love you, woman
D
And it's not over yet.
G
I pray that I will forget you
A7 D G
I've cursed the day we met
[Chorus]
G
This is a hurt I can't handle
C G
and it cuts right through my skin
I've gone and burned my last candle
A7 D
till it's meeting at both ends
G
I swam across love's muddy river
C G
and I've sailed life's stormy sea
But this is a hurt I can't handle
A7 D G A7
and, Lord, it's killing me.
D
This is a hurt I can't handle
G D
and it cuts right through my skin
I've gone and burned my last candle
E7 A
till it's meeting at both ends
D
I swam across love's muddy river
G D
and I've sailed life's stormy sea
But this is a hurt I can't handle
E7 A
and, Lord, it's killing me.
D
But this is a hurt I can't handle
E7 A D
and, Lord, it's killing me.
