| A | F#m | D | E | |
| Love | hurts, love | scars, love | wounds and | mars |
It amuses me that Nazareth says “not tough or strong” and the Everly Brothers say “not tough nor strong”
| Dadd9 | A | F#m | D | E |
| Any | heart, not | tough or | strong e | nough |
| Dadd9 | A | C#7 | F#m | |
| To | take a lot of | pain, | take a lot of | pain |
Everly Brothers arrangement does a V7 instead of another III7 at the beginning of this line
| C#7 | D | E |
| Love is like a | cloud, it holds a lot of | rain |
| Dadd9 | A | G | D | A |
| Love | hurts, | ooh | hoo love | hurts |
| A |
| A | F#m | D | E | |
| I’m | young, I | know, but | even | so |
| Dadd9 | A | F#m | D | E |
| I know a | thing, or | two, I | learned from | you |
| Dadd9 | A | C#7 | F#m | |
| I | really learned a | lot, | really learned a | lot |
| C#7 | D | E |
| Love is like a | flame, it burns you when it’s | hot |
| Dadd9 | A | G | D | A |
| Love | hurts, | ooh | hoo love | hurts |

| B |
| Some fools, fool themselves, I guess |
| Bm | E |
| They’re not foolin’ | me |
Back to the pre-chorus, so chords are changing faster now
| Dadd9 | A | C#7 | F#m | |
| I | know it isn’t | true, I | know it isn’t | true |
| C#7 | D | E |
| Love is just a | lie made to make you | blue |
| Dadd9 | A | G | D | A |
| Love | hurts, | ooh | hoo love | hurts |
| G | D | A |
| Ooh | hoo love | hurts |
