Capo 2 
 
 
G5                                             C5 
The phone call in the middle of the night, it never came 
G5                                                         
She's been walkin' on pins and needles waitin' for the  
C5 
phone to ring 
           D5 
To put her mind at ease 
G5 
The suns' comin' up and I'm comin' in 
                 C5                   D5 
With another "I'm sorry, It won't happen again" 
   E5                  G5 
I can't understand why she never ran 
      C5                          D5 
When anybody in their right mind would 
 
 
           G5 
Yeah I'm a hard man to love 
    E5 
But thank God she does 
     C5 
Keep holdin' on, bein' strong 
          D5 
When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough 
G5 
Soft as silk she stands 
       E5 
By her barbed wire man 
       C5 
She's never given up 
      D5 
I'm A hard man to love 
 
There's a dog house rose that God knows I didn't send soon enough 

Sittin' in the middle of a crippled kitchen table barely standing up from where our kitchen was 

It ain't pretty enough to make up for me messin' up the only love a man could ever need 

She shines forgiveness from her patient eyes 

I don't see what they see in me 
 
Yeah I'm a hard man to love 

But thank God she does 

Keep holdin' on, bein' strong 

When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough 

Soft as silk she stands 

By her barbed wire man 

She's never given up 

I'm A hard man to love 
 
 
E5               C5           G5              D5        
But I found someone tough enough to love a man like me  
E5                           C5                       G5 
In spite of the tears she's cried and the time she's tried  
            D5 
so hard to love 
 
This hard man to love 

But thank God she does 

Keep holdin' on, bein' strong 

When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough 

Soft as silk she stands 

By her barbed wire man 

She's never given up 

I'm A hard man to love 
 
No she's never given up 

On this hard man to love
