[Verse 1]
C            C/B                 Am       Am/G
   I saw the lamplight from your window,
               G        Am                   Ab6
I didn't think you were home, sitting there...    all alone,
     C               G/B             Am    Am/G
So I came up to your room to ask you why,
            D/F#    Em
Why did you hurt me so?
            F          Ab        C      F/G
Why did you... have to go... a - way? | /__/  /__/ /__/  /__/ |

[Verse 2]
C          C/B             Am            Am/G
   I never wanted anything in my life,
          G     Am                    Ab6
Not until I met you, I thought you'd...    see me through...
           C                 G/B           Am        Am/G
...All the bad days that I'd had, before I met you,
             D/F#   Em
Something... in the past, never thought it...
F           Ab         C    G/B   Am   Am/G
...Couldn't last for - ever,
            F           C    F     F/G        Dm7  C    Am7  D
There's one thing I can say, every day, how I miss you, oh---oh!

Did you wanna hurt me so?

Excellent tab i really enjoy playing it and well worth a 5 star rating, a fitting tribute to a brilliant band, i just wish someone would tab the lead guitar solo part, (i am nearly there but not quite). You should be proud of yourself. Thank you.
