Erik Hassle - Hurtful

I had searched quite a bit for an accurate version of this this beautiful 
song by Erik Hassle (pronounced Huss-leh) without any real luck. So when I 
happened to spot him at the club Debaser at Medborgarplatsen, Stockholm,
I just had to grab him and ask for the chords. He was kind enough to scribble
the basic chords down on the back of a receipt for me, so this version should 
be pretty accurate :)

Erik usually plays this song with a capo on 3rd fret and at live performances 
sometimes even with a capo on 4th to make the song go in another key compared 
to the recorded version. This version is for the recorded version but without
the use of a capo. I have seen a version on UG with a capo on 3rd that you 
might want to check out if you want the "recorded feel" of the song.

Enjoy!  /Fredrik Norman

Standard tuning, no capo


          
I used to laugh it off 

          
I used to look the other way 

                                      
I used to save them troubles for another day

           
I kept my fingers crossed 

                        
I used to never take the blame

                                     
I'd pull a sunshine story in a pouring rain 

                                                   
The more I had to change I'd just stay the same 


The same, the same, I stayed the same 




                                      
You don't know what you got till you're missing it a lot 

                    
I had to go throw it away 

                                                      
I was wrong from the start, from the bottom of my heart I apologize 

                  
What I did to you was hurtful 

                             
What I'm going through is hurtful 




          
I used to buy my time 

          
I used to beat around the bush 

                            
I'd rather give my ego another push 

          
I used to be a fool 

         
It was a foolish game I played 

                                       
And it's a fool's faith coming mistakes I made 

                                
Once I had it right it was all too late 


Too late, too late, too little too late




                                      
You don't know what you got till you're missing it a lot 

                    
I had to go throw it away 

                                                      
I was wrong from the start, from the bottom of my heart I apologize 

                  
What I did to you was hurtful 

                             
What I'm going through is hurtful 

                       
What I'm going through is hurtful 

      
It is hurtful 

     
It's hurtful

Oh-oh what I did to you 

--
What I did to you 



                  
What I did to you was hurtful 

                            
What I'm going through is hurtful

I was wrong from the start, from the bottom of my heart I apologize 

                  
What I did to you was hurtful 

                                 
And What I'm going through is hurtful
