Dwight Yoakam, Only Hurts When I Cry Tabs

It Only Hurts When I Cry (Dwight Yoakam/Roger Miller)


Capo 1st fret (if you want to play this with the Live version)


Intro: C D G


Chorus:

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
