Intro: C D G
C
The only time I feel the pain
D G
Is in the sunshine or the rain
C
And I don't feel no hurt at all
D G
Unless you count when teardrops fall
C
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
D G
And it only hurts me when I cry
D
You couldn't tell it by this smile
G
But my recovery took awhile
D
I worked for days and nights on end
G
Just to walk and talk again
C
You can't believe the time it takes
D
To heal a heart once it breaks
Chorus
D
Oh maybe every now and then
G
I have a small heartache again
D
You wouldn't know to look at me
G
There's tiny scars that you can't see
C
It was a struggle to survive
D
I'm probably lucky I'm alive
Chorus
C
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
D
And it only hurts me when I cry
