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
