A               A7 
I cry myself to sleep each night 
D 
Wishing I could hold you tight 
     A                              E7 
Life seems so empty since you went away 
        A                A7 
And the pillow where you lay your head 
     D  
Now holds my empty dreams instead 
       E7 
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' 
             A 
Since you're gone 
 
 
  
   E7                            D 
It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day 
      E7                         D   A 
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely 
                             A7             D 
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on 
       E7                                    A 
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone 
 
 
 
  
     A                 A7 
They say a man ain't supposed to cry 
     D 
But when I see you passing by 
    A                                    E7 
My heart breaks down and cries a million tears 
    A                 A7 
The pillow where you lay your head 
    D 
Now holds my empty dreams instead 
       E7                                    A 
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone 
 
  
   E7                            D 
It keeps right on a'hurtin every minute of the day 
      E7                          D   A 
Every hour you're away I feel so lonely 
                             A7             D 
And I can't help it, I don't think I can go on 
       E7                                    A   
And it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone 
      E7                                      A 
Yes, it keeps right on a-hurtin' since you're gone
