G#  D#6           C#/F    F Bbm
  I ran out on my children
                    D#/Bb  Fm7 D#
And I ran out on my wife
G# D#6                 C#/F
   Gonna run out on you too, baby
Bbm                 D#/Bb
I’ve done it all my life

Everybody cried the night I left, well, almost everybody did
My little boy just hung his head
And I put my arm, put my arm around his little shoulder
And this is what I said:

Chorus:
        G#                      D#
"I just want you to hurt like I do
       Fm          C#          D#
I just want you to hurt like I do
       G#                      F 
I just want you to hurt like I do
         Bbm          D#           G#    Intro      
Honest I do, honest I do, honest I do"

If I had one wish one dream I knew would come true
I'd want to speak to all the people of the world
I'd get up there, I'd get up there on that platform
First I'd sing a song or two you know I would I'd do

D#
I'd talk to the people and I'd say
 G#                               Cm 
"It's a rough rough world, it's a tough tough world
      C#        F Bbm 
Well, you know
                                                    D#  
And things don't always, things don't always go the way we plan
    G#                                          C#    F Bbm
But there's one thing, one thing we all have in common
                                     D# 
And it's something everyone can understand
All over the world sing along
