F#m
It doesn’t hurt me
DA
Do you want to feel how it feels?
F#mD
Do you want to know that it doesn’t hurt me?
AE
Do you want to hear about the deal that I’m making?
F#mD
You, it’s you and me
Chorus
A
And if I only could
E
I’d make a deal with God
F#mD
And I’d get him to swap our places
A
Be running up that road
E
Be running up that hill
F#mD
Be running up that building
AE
Say, if I only could, oh
Verse 2
F#m
You don’t want to hurt me
DA
But see how deep the bullet lies
F#mD
Unaware I’m tearing you asunder
A
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts
E
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
F#mD
Tell me, we both matter, don’t we?
Chorus
A
And if I only could
E
I’d make a deal with God

Be running up that building
