        IT ONLY HURTS ME WHEN I CRY    Dwight Yoakum



CHORUS:

     A                     D

The only time I feel the pain

E                          A             

Is in the sunshine or the rain

A                        D

I don't feel no hurt at all

E                                A

Unless you count when teardrops fall

A                                 D

I'll tell the truth 'cept when I lie

E                        A

It only hurts me when I cry





 n.c.                        E

You couldn't tell it by the smile

E                    A

My recovery took a while

A                          E

I worked days and night on end

E                        A

Just to walk and talk a-gain

A                              D

You can't believe the time it takes

D                         E    E7  

To heal a heart once it breaks-eaks



Go to chorus, lead D E A D E A



A                 E

Oh every now and then

E                         A

I call this heartache a-gain

A                            E

You wouldn't know to look at me

E                              A

I've got scars that you can't see

A                       D 

What a struggle to sur-vive

D                          E   E7

I'm probably looking at a lie

Go to chorus,

ENDING:

A                                  D

I'll tell the truth 'cept when I lie

E                        A

It only hurts me when I cry
