Another request for Pipp90 who asked for Hurt as well as Thirteen. This is one I have listened to and had contemplated doing, but had not got round to until today. It is a difficult song to sing, being charged with such emotion when JR sang it. It was recorded by him only very shortly before he passed away. The song was written by Trent Reznor.

Hurt 
Trent Reznor

Am          C          D         C        D        Am
I hurt myself today to see if I still feel
             C          D              C      D                   Am
I focus on the pain the only thing that's real
                     C           D              C        D        Am
The needle tears a hole the old familiar sting
                     C      D                   C              D        Am
Try to kill it all away but I remember everything

Am              C     D        Am   C               G
What have I become my   sweetest friend?
Am    C       D                     G                 Am
Everyone I know goes away in the end
                           C           D    Am      C           G
And you could have it all  my empire of dirt
Am   C            D        Am    C                G
I will let you down I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time the feelings disappear
You are someone else I am still right here

What have I become? my sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away in the end
And you could have it all my empire of dirt
I will let you down I will make you hurt

If I could start again a million miles away
I would keep myself I would find a way
