Lyrics

When the words that you want ed to say are all com ing out wrong,

when you burst in to tears though you’re try ing so hard to be strong,

oh.

We’re stand ing in

the line of fire,

try’n a make

two wrongs a right.

Hurt lov ers, hurt, hurt lov ers, oh, don’t give up, don’t, don’t give up, no.

Take cov er, you can’t just let it go.

We got ta try.

We got ta try.

So when all that you ev er be lieve comes a part at the seams,

and when all of the brid ges you build wash a way in the stream,

oh.

What ev er comes,

it’s not the end.

We got ta fight

and take a stand.

Hurt lov ers, hurt, hurt lov ers, oh, don’t give up, don’t, don’t give up, no.

Take cov er, you can’t just let it go.

We got ta try.

We got ta try.

E ven when you lose her

and you played your last card, (You (Eb)know.) you know, you (Ab)know:

We’re stand ing in

the line of fire,

try’n a make

two wrongs a right.

Hurt lov ers, hurt, hurt lov ers, oh, (Bb)don’t give up, (Gm)don’t, (Bb)don’t give up, no.

We got ta try.

We got ta try.

Hurt lov ers, hurt, hurt lov ers, oh, don’t give up, don’t, don’t give up, no.

Take cov er, you can’t just let it go.

We got ta try.

We got ta try.

Hurt lov ers, hurt, so bad and then you find some thing to make things right a gain.

It don’t mat ter who wins out in the end.

We got ta try.

We got ta (Fm)try.
