Hurt by Johnny Cash
This is the Johnny Cash version of the Nine Inch Nails tune. The music video, filmed in 2003, is stunning in it's starkness. Johnny was 71 years old and of frail health when the video was filmed. He died seven month later.

C D Am C D Am
I hurt myself, today to see if I still feel
C D Am C D Am
I focus on the pain the only thing, that's real
C D Am C D Am
The needle, tears a hole the old familiar sting
C D Am C D G
Try to kill it all away but I remember, everything
[chorus:]
Am F C G
What have I become? My sweetest friend
Am F C G
Everyone I know goes away in the end
Am F C G
And you could have it all My empire of dirt
Am F Gsus G
I will let you down I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns upon my liars chair
C D Am C D Am
Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair

Beneath the stains of time the feeling disappears

I will let you down I will make you hurt
Am F C G
If I could start again A million miles away
Am F Gsus {let ring}
I would keep myself I would find, a way
