Love Hurts — Incubus
Chords and lyrics for Love Hurts by Incubus (key of C).
Verse 1
This is the acoustic version of "Love Hurts" by Incubus. Basically the same
progression
played throughout the song though I made up the Bm fingering since I don't
know what it
is, but it sounds alright. I didn't include the solo (which is played by a
2nd electric
even in the acoustic version) since there are plenty of already perfectly
tabbed
out there. For the refrain, just strum the standard appropriate chords.
