Intro: C5 D5 G5 

C5 
The only time I feel the pain 
D5 G5 
Is in the sunshine or the rain 
C5 
And I don't feel no hurt at all 
D5 G5 
Unless you count when teardrops fall 
C5 
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie 
D5 G5 
And it only hurts me when I cry  
D5 
You couldn't tell it by this smile 
G5 
But my recovery took awhile 
D5 
I worked for days and nights on end 
G5 
Just to walk and talk again 
C5 
You can't believe the time it takes 
D5 
To heal a heart once it breaks  

Chorus 
D5 
Oh maybe every now and then 
G5 
I have a small heartache again 
D5 
You wouldn't know to look at me 
G5 
There's tiny scars that you can't see 
C5 
It was a struggle to survive 
D5 
I'm probably lucky I'm alive 

Chorus 
C5 
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie 
D5 
And it only hurts me when I cry
