Sometimes It Hurts Tab

by Tindersticks


Sometimes It Hurts – Tindersticks

From the criminally-underrated ‘Waiting For The Moon’.

Not sure about the first F in the chorus; rest sounds ok.

Verse:

			
You’re wasting your time coming ‘round here
					    
What got you to thinking there was something new going on?
			
You’re wasting your time coming ‘round here
					
What got you to thinking I had a different song?

				
Been lying awake all night trying to figure out
				
It’s that old song – keeps running around in my head
				
You’re wasting your time coming ‘round here 
						
But what’s good for me is not necessarily for the best
So play it for me

Chorus:

					
Sometimes it works, sometimes it don’t, you know
					
Some days it hurts, some days it feels real good
				
Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it don’t, you know
					
Some days it works so good I can see my way home

Verse:

							
Been climbing these old walls warning and screaming what a cheat you are 
						
‘Cause nothing else comes near me, you got this trick going on
				
May have the sharpest chisel, the keenest eye
				
It’s just that old song, I’ve only got the one
So play it for me

Chorus:

					
Sometimes it works, sometimes it don’t, you know
					
Some days it hurts, some days it feels real good
				
Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it don’t, you know
					
Some days it works so good I can see my way home

Middle Eight:

				
I may unscrew the top just to hear that sound
					
I may pour a little just to see the light shining through
				
A little sip, but no more
						
Hey, you belong to me now, don’t you wander too far

So play it for me
And I’ll play it for you
So play it for me
And I’ll play it for you

Chorus:

					
Sometimes it works, sometimes it don’t, you know
					
Some days it hurts, some days it feels real good
				
Sometimes it hurts, sometimes it don’t, you know
					
Some days it works so good I can see my way home

Coda:

				
I’m wasting my time coming ‘round here
					
What once burned so brightly is all but smoke in the air
				
You’re wasting your time coming ‘round here 
					
What got you to thinking I had a different song?
