Chords

[Intro] I don't know why I feel this way
                  F#m
I don't know if it's right or wrong

            A
To laugh at misfortune

             F#m   E        D
Darkness can never last too long
[Verse 1]
A
Every time I think I'm falling

A
And there's nobody around to hold me up

A
And it seems like the world has come to an end

A
I look for miles, but not a face is friendly

A
Then suddenly, a hole opens up in the ground

A
The bottom of the hole is a raging fire

A
I try to jump over, but there's no way

A
The next thing I know, I'm going down
[Chorus]
        E
Does it hurt?

       F#m            D
Oh, it really doesn't matter

        E
Does it burn?

          F#m          D
Oh, no, I don't feel a thing

        E
Does it sting?

             F#m            D
Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter

        E
Does it hurt?

      F#m          D
Oh, I don't give a damn

       F#m         E             D
When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom

   A
It only makes me laugh

A
Only makes me laugh

       F#m         E          D
When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom
[Verse 2]
A
The last time that I fell in love

A
The love was milk and honey

A
But the milk turned sour

A
The woman became a monster

A
And everyone I knew had become a stranger

A
Then the room went black and my luck was spent

A
The floor opened up—down I went
[Chorus]
        E
Does it hurt?

       F#m            D
Oh, it really doesn't matter

        E
Does it burn?

          F#m          D
Oh, no, I don't feel a thing

        E
Does it sting?

             F#m            D
Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter

        E
Does it hurt?

      F#m          D
Oh, I don't give a damn

       F#m         E             D
When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom

   A
It only makes me laugh

A
Only makes me laugh

       F#m         E          D
When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom

   A
It only makes me laugh

A
Only makes me laugh

A
Coming right back

A
Coming right back

A
'Cause you can't keep me down

A
Can't keep me down

E          D
Oh, in the ground

        E
Does it hurt?

       F#m            D
Oh, it really doesn't matter

        E
Does it burn?

      F#m          D
Oh, I don't feel a thing

A  F#m              A
I don't mind just a little pain
Ooh, oh, yeah
F#m  E  D
Whoa....
[Verse 3]
A
Remembering when I was a young man

A
How everything seemed to turn against me

A
I didn't know a soul, it was an alien place

A
The sun was covered by a dark cloud

A
And though I tried, I couldn't find a way to escape

A
The only way to go: straight down
[Chorus]
        E
Does it hurt?

       F#m            D
Oh, it really doesn't matter

        E
Does it burn?

      F#m          D
Oh, I don't feel a thing

        E
Does it sting?

             F#m            D
Oh, yeah, it really doesn't matter

        E
Does it hurt?

      F#m          D
Oh, I don't give a damn

       F#m         E             D
When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom

A
It only makes me laugh

A
It only makes me laugh

       F#m         E          D
When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom

A
It only makes me laugh

A
It only makes me laugh

A
It only makes me laugh

A
It only makes me laugh
[Outro]
A
I don't know why I feel this way

                     F#m
I don't know if it's right or wrong

               A
To laugh at misfortune

             F#m   E        D
Darkness can never last too long...

A
When you laugh in its face
