[Verse 1]
Dm                                          F
I had a friend I knew in the ninth grade
Am
And he didn\’t come to class one day
Dm                                 F
\’Cause they found something inside his brain
Am
so they sent him home
Dm                                                 F
So I went to see him after school
Am
I said \”Is there something I can do that
Dm
Might make you feel more comfortable?\”
Am
And he told me \”No\”

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                                                 F
He said \”I\’m happy that you made it,
Am
please don\’t treat me like your patient
Dm                 F                 Am
I don\’t need more medication,\” mmm

[Chorus]
Dm                 F                                 Am                 G
The only way I know that I\’m alive is \’cause it hurts
Dm                                 F                      Am                 G
So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
Dm                                 F                                 Am                 G
\’Cause if I\’m numb I might as well be underneath the dirt
Dm                 F                 Am
The only way I know that I\’m alive,
G                 Dm                 F Am
that I\’m alive is \’cause it hurts
Dm           F        Am
Is \’cause it hurts

[Verse 2]
Dm                                 F
And I won\’t forget the things he said
Am
Every time I start to feel depressed
Dm                                 F                                 Am
To be grateful that I still have breath down inside my lungs
Dm                                 F
\’Cause without the darkness there\’s no light
Am
And without the pain there\’d be no life so
Dm                                 F                                 Am
Even when it hurts inside I won\’t try to run

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm                                 F
I\’ll be happy that I made it,
Am
I\’ll be open, I\’ll embrace it
Dm                 F                      Am
I won\’t take no medication, mmm

[Chorus]
Dm                 F                 Am                 G
The only way I know that I\’m alive is \’cause it hurts
Dm                                 F                                 Am                 G
So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
Dm                                 F                                 Am                 G
\’Cause if I\’m numb I might as well be underneath the dirt
Dm                                 F                 Am
The only way I know that I\’m alive,
G     Dm                 F                 Am
that I\’m alive is \’cause it hurts
Dm    F    Am    G
Is \’cause it hurts

The only way I know that I\’m alive is \’cause it hurts

So anything that takes away my pain will make it worse
Dm                                                 F                                               Am
\’Cause if I\’m numb I might as well be underneath the dirt, mmm
Dm                 F                                 Am
The only way I know that I\’m alive,
