Chord/Tab song: It Only Hurts When I Cry

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]Is[G] in the sunshine or the rain
[C]And I don't feel no hurt at all
[D]Un[G]less you count when teardrops fall
[C]I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
[D]An[G]d 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
