This is the acoustic version of "Love Hurts" by Incubus. Basically the same progression
played throughout the song though I made up the Bm fingering since I don't know what it
is, but it sounds alright. I didn't include the solo (which is played by a 2nd electric 
even in the acoustic version) since there are plenty of already perfectly tabbed
out there. For the refrain, just strum the standard appropriate chords. If you listen to 
acoustic version, it's a no brainer. Hope this helps. Enjoy.

Verse 1:
----------
Em   Bm               D
Tonight we drink to youth
    Am                   Em
And holding fast to truth
       Bm                  D         Am
Don't wanna lose what I had as a boy
Em    Bm               D
My heart still has a beat
      Am            Em
But love is now a feat
     Bm              D       C
As common as a cold day in L.A.


Refrain:
----------
    Am
Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder
C
Is there a spell that I am under
Am                           C      D
Keeping me from seeing the real thing?

Chorus:
----------
Em      Bm
Love hurts
        D              Am
But sometimes it's a good hurt
         Em        Bm     A-C
And it feels like I'm alive
Em      Bm
Love sings
      D                 C
When it transcends the bad things
         Em         Bm
Have a heart and try me
         A              C
‘Cause without love I won't survive


Instrumental: Em


Verse 2:
----------
Em    Bm          D
I’m fettered and abused
          Am          Em
Stand naked and accused
       Bm               D          Am
Should I surface, this one man submarine?
Em  Bm              D
I only want the truth
        Am                 Em
So tonight we drink to youth
   Bm          D              C
I’ll never lose what I had as a boy


Refrain:
----------
    Am
Sometimes when I'm alone I wonder
C
Is there a spell that I am under
Am                           C      D
Keeping me from seeing the real thing
