Not Counting You
Written and recorded by Garth Brooks

C    G7
When loving turns to parting 
    C
I'm always the first to leave
      D7
Cause when it comes to heartaches 
           G7
I'd rather give than to receive
     C
I've never cried myself to sleep 
     F                D7
Just praying I'll get through
     F             G7                C
I've never lost at love not counting you

                                  F
Not counting you I've never had a heartache
             G7                    C
Not counting you I never have been blue
G7           C
There's no exceptions to the rule 
           F      C      D7
I've never been nobody's fool
     F             G7                C
I've never lost at love not counting you

     G7
I've never got down on my knees 
    C
And asked the Lord above
   D7
If He would only bring me 
    G7
The one I'm dreaming of
C
Begging to be taken back 
    F                D7
And swearing I'll be true
    F                G7                C
Has never crossed my mind not counting you

repeat #3

G7            C
There's no exceptions to the rule 
           F    C        D7
I've never been nobody's fool
     F             G7                C
I've never lost at love not counting you

        G7                              C
No I've never lost at love not counting you
