It Only Hurts When I Cry
By Dwight Yoakum

Intro chord: A

Chorus:
                         D
The only time I feel the pain
E                         A
Is in the sunshine or the rain
                            D
And I don't feel no hurt at all
E                               A
Unless you count when teardrops fall
                              D
I tell the truth 'cept when I lie
E                           A 
And it only hurts me when I cry 

                             E
You couldn't tell it by this smile
                     A
But my recovery took awhile
                                E
I worked for days and nights on end
                      A
Just to walk and talk again
                              D
You can't believe the time it takes
                        E       
To heal a heart once it breaks

Chorus

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


Chorus


I tell the truth 'cept when I lie

And it only hurts me when I cry
