#1.
I [A]cry myself to sleep each [A7]night..
[D]wishing I could hold you tight..
life [A]seems so empty since you went [E]a..way.

Chorus
It [E]keeps right on a-hurtin', every [D]minute of the day.

And I can't help it, I don't [A7]think I can go [D]on..

#2.
They [A]say a man should never [A7]cry..
but [D]when I see you passin' by..
my [A]heart breaks down and cries a million [E]tears.
Now, [A]you broke my heart and set me [A7]free..
but [D]you forgot your memory..
and it [E]keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're [A][D][A]gone.[E]
Outro
It [E]keeps right on a-hurtin', every [D]minute of the day.
Every [E]hour you're away I feel so [D][A]lone..lonely.
And I can't help it, I don't [A7]think I can go [D]on..
and it [E]keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're [A][D][A]gone.[A][E]
