[Intro] G C Em7 D


[Verse]

        G
I can't stand the smell of smoke
       C                   G
But I bought myself a pack
         Em
Bummed a light from a stranger
       C 
Nearly choked from that first drag
      G
And I hate the taste of whiskey
         C                    G
And this barroom ain't my style
             Em              D          C
But I'll try anything not to hurt for a while
             G
Seems like forever since I looked
         C                  G
Into the eyes of another man
      Em                  C
In my lifetime I've never known a one-night stand.
                G
Lord knows it's wrong to let a stranger
     C                      G
Turn out your bedroom light.
             Em              D          C
But I'll try anything not to hurt for a while


[Chorus]

    G                  C
I'm tired, so tired of crying
         Em                           D
Tired of reaching for a memory in the middle of the night
   C        G           G/B                  C
So sick of pain running through my veins overtaking my whole life
         Em              D          C
I'll try anything not to hurt for a while
         G               D          G
I'll try anything not to hurt for a while

[Verse]

              G
It ain't like me to swear out loud
        C               G
Getting tore up in this bar
        Em
I guess even good girls backslide
        C
Running from a broken heart
           G
I pray the good Lord ain't lookin'
           C           G
And taking notes on me tonight
               Em              D          C
Cause I'll try anything not to hurt for a while


[Chorus]

(2x)
     G                  C
I'm tired, so tired of crying
         Em                           D                  C  
Tired of reaching for a memory in the middle of the night
           G            G/B                  C
So sick of pain running through my veins overtaking my whole life
             Em              D          C
But I'll try anything not to hurt for a while
