Em C Am
Sweet L.A
B7 Em C Am B7
I gave my broken soul to you
Em C Am
Sweet L.A
B7 Em C Am B7
Why do you hurt me like you do?
[Bridge]
Em C
I keep running and rushing to catch a clue
Am B7
To the mystery of your dark heart
Em
I could never have known
C
From the signs I was shown
Am B7
That the game was rigged from the start
[Chorus]
Em C Am
Sweet L.A
B7 Em C Am B7
All of these trials that you've put me through
Em C Am
Sweet L.A
B7 Em C Am B7
Why do you hurt me like you do?
[Bridge]
Em C
Underneath all the glamour and flashing lights
Am B7
There are shadows nobody sees
Em
In the dim of your dusk
C
You're a cold bloody husk
Am B7
Spreading poison into the breeze
[Chorus]
Em C Am
Sweet L.A
B7 Em
Why do you hurt me like you do?
C Am B7
(Why do you hurt me like you do?)
[Interlude]
Em F
Open the oldest wounds
C B7
These memories haunt me
Em F
Your secrets and crooked smiles
C B7
They torment and taunt me
Em F
I long for atonement's arms
C B7
Carry me back
Em F C B7
But the reel keeps on spinning loose and the screen
Em
Is fading to black
[Saxophone solo]
Em C Am B7 (x4)
[Chorus]
Em C Am
Sweet L.A
B7 Em C Am B7
I gave my broken soul to you
Em C Am
Sweet L.A
B7 Em
Why do you hurt me like you do?
C Am B7
(Why do you hurt me like you do?)
Em
Like you do
