Hurt People

   G                                        D
My momma was raised in a little house right on the Georgia line
Em                                        C
Middle of the three to a mother who drank way too much sometimes
G                                      D
She left home when she turned 18 for a different kind of life
Em                                                         C
She fell for somebody with some southern charm she thought just might treat her right
             Am
She became a mother, became a wife
             C
And they got used to they way they'd fight
       G
So the cycle keeps going
             D
And now it's his heart that's broken

        C
You can hide your scars, ignore your pain
       G
But it all comes out in other ways
        C                                            D
And you don't know when so you're living on pins and needles
      C
So we do our best getting through our days
    G
But deep down it feels like were all the same
  Am               G    C
Nobody's good, nobody's evil
                     G      D  Em  C
But hurt people hurt people
                 G      D  Em  C
Hurt people hurt people

   G                                  D
I knew they wouldn't understand but I told them anyway
    Em                                    C
And 10 years later, I'm still waiting for time to heal this pain
   G                                  D
My daddy said I want you to know that we're not proud of you
    Em                             C
So, I left home all on my own just like hurt people do
            Am
They always told me you got your mother's eyes
             C
And I saw it clearly as we both cried
        G
And the cycle keeps going
             D
And now it's my heart that's broken

              C
Well, you can hide your scars, ignore your pain
       G
But it all comes out in other ways
        C                                            D
And you don't know when so you're living on pins and needles
      C
So we do our best getting through our days
    G
But deep down it feels like were all the same
  Am               G    C
Nobody's good, nobody's evil
                     G      D  Em  C
But hurt people hurt people
                 G      D  Em  C
Hurt people hurt people
        C
You can hide your scars, ignore your pain
       G
But it all comes out in other ways
        C                                            D
And you don't know when so you're living on pins and needles
      C
So we do our best getting through our days
    G
But deep down it feels like were all the same
  Am               G    C
Nobody's good, nobody's evil
                     G      D  Em  C
But hurt people hurt people
                 G      D  Em  C
Hurt people hurt people
  Am               G    C
Nobody's good, nobody's evil
                     G      D  Em  C
But hurt people hurt people
                 G      D  Em  C
Hurt people hurt people
