WHAT HURTS THE MOST - Rascal Flatts
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Supermaassive_
Tuning: Standard
Capo: 1st Fret
Chords are relative to the capo. (:
#INTRO#
Ok, so this song is in 4/4 which means that for the 2nd part of the intro,
you'll play one measure of Em and D, then two measures of C ...
e|--------------------| R
B|--------------------| followed by 3 chords: Em, D, C. E
G|--------------------| P
D|--------------------| So technically it'd be ... E
A|--0h2h3-2p0---------| A
E|------------3-0-----| Em (2,3,4), D (2,3,4), C (2,3,4), C(2,3,4) T
Then before going onto the verse, play the riff (the tab bit before the chords)
at the start again... So the intro is riff, chords, riff, chords riff.
#VERSE 1#
Em D C
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house, that don't bother me,
Em D C
I can take a few tears now and then and just let 'em out,
C
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while,
D Em D
even though going strong with you gone still upsets me,
C
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok,
D
But that's not what gets me.
#CHORUS#
Em D - C
What hurts the most was being so close,
G5 Dsus4
And having so much to say and watching you walk away,
Em D - C
And never knowing what could of been,
G5 Dsus4 D
And not seeing that loving you is what I was trying to do

#VERSE 2#
Em D C
It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go, but I'm doing it
Em D C
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone,
C D Em
Still harder, getting up, getting dressed, living with this regret,
D
But I know if I could do it over,
C
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart
D
That I left unspoken
#CHORUS#
Em D - C
What hurts the most was being so close,
G5 Dsus4
And having so much to say and watching you walk away,
Em D - C

G5 Dsus4 D
And not seeing that loving you is what I was trying to do
