It Only Hurts When I Cry
It Only Hurts When I Cry
By Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens
GC
The only time I feel the pain
D7G
Is in the sunshine or the rain
C
And I don't feel no hurt at all
D7G
Unless you count when teardrops fall
C
I tell the truth except when I lie
D7G
And it only hurts me when I cry
D7
You couldn't tell it by this smile
G
But my recovery took awhile
D7
I worked for days and nights on end
G
Just to walk and talk again
C
You can't believe the time it takes
D7
To heal a heart once it breaks
Repeat #1
GD7
Oh maybe every now and then
G
I have a small heartache again
D7
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
D7
I'm probably lucky I'm alive
Repeat #1
Tag:
C
I tell the truth except when I lie
D7G
And it only hurts me when I cry
