(Hammer on 2nd fret of D string and then G string) x4

[Verse]
Em Am
Crying for the one who doesn't love you
Bm Em
All you feel is the pain
Am
You don't know why he doesn't want you
Bm Em
He hasn't called for days (Repeat intro hammer on once)
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
So dry those eyes and don't be afraid
Em
'Cause the rhythm of lovers ain't the same
Am
No, you don't know, it don't come easy
D
Come easy
[Chorus]
G Em7
They say it comes in threes: love, hope and misery
Am
And the first two are gone and tell me if I'm wrong
D
I hope that I am and you don't hate me
G Em7
Don't be mad, I'm just a man
Am
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
D Em
And I know, and I know that you must hate me (Repeat intro hammer on x4)
[Verse]
Em Am
Holding back the reasons not to love you
Bm Em
Try to find the way
Am
But when you're feeling down and lonely
Bm Em
It makes it hard to say (Repeat intro hammer on once)
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
So dry those eyes and don't be afraid
Em
'Cause the rhythm of lovers ain't the same
Am
No, you don't know, it don't come easy
D
Come easy
[Chorus]
G Em7
They say it comes in threes: love, hope and misery
Am
And the first two are gone and tell me if I'm wrong
D
I hope that I am and you don't hate me
G Em7
Don't be mad, I'm just a man
Am D
And I know, and I know, and I know that you must hate me
[Bridge]
Em
As I think about the only way that you know to love
C
No, this feeling can't be right if it don't mean much
Am
No, this feeling ain't right if it don't mean much
D
I can't be here for you
Em
No, I can't live a lie, woman, that you must know
C
And this feeling can't be right if it moves so slow
Am
No, this feeling ain't right if it moves so slow
D
I can't be here with you
[Chorus]
G Em7
They say it comes in threes: love, hope and misery
Am
And the first two are gone and tell me if I'm wrong
D
I hope that I am and you don't hate me
G Em7
Don't be mad, I'm just a man
Am
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
D
And I know, and I know that you must hate me
