Verse 1: 
 
        F#          B      F# 
        It hurts to be in love 
        D#m       F#  D#m      F# 
        When the only one you love 
        B               G#m  C# 
        Turns out to be someone 
              F#                   D#m   F#   D#m 
        Who's not in love with you 
 
        F#            B      F# 
        It hurts to love her so 
        D#m        F#    D#m      F# 
        When deep down inside you know 
        B              G#m  C# 
        She will never want you 
           F#                 {N.C.} 
        No matter what you do 
 
Chorus: 
 
                   D#m 
        And so you cry a little bit 
                         (it hurts to be in love) 
            A#m 
        Oh, die a little bit 
                  (it hurts to be in love) 
         A   B   F# 
        Day and night 
          A    B  F# 
        Night and day 
            D#m     C#     B        C# 
        It hurts to be in love this way 
 
Verse 2: 
 
        How long can I exist 
        Wanting lips I've never kissed 
        She gives all her kisses 
        To somebody else 
 
        She thinks I'm just a friend 
        Though it hurts I must pretend 
        The only way to keep her 
        Is keep it to myself
