D G D

[Verse 1]
D                        G                            D
Guess that I'm still living; you say you've seen me 'round
D                           G           A
Usually when I see you first I put my head down
D                                   G                 D
Like a cats afraid of slamming doors and innocent old rocking chairs
D
Guess that I am afraid of heartache
G                 A        D
These things that I don't dare

[Chorus]
A
If loving means hurting
          G            D
I think I'll just be on my way
A
Never much of one for bleeding hearts
        G                   A
I just don't think I want to play

[Verse 2]
D                             G                       D
If love was like a poker table I'd have folded long ago
D                              G                     A
Kept my cards close to my chest afraid to let them show
D                               G                      D
Always have to have the pat hand never betting on the pair
D
Couldn't stand the risks involved with winning
G                 A        D
These things that I don't dare

[Chorus]
A
If loving means hurting
          G            D
I think I'll just be on my way
A
Never much of one for bleeding hearts
        G                   A
I just don't think I want to play

[Verse 3]
D                        G                         D
Oh, I cuss my inhibitions wish I had the nerve to say
D                              G                       A
The things about the way I feel and how I wish you'd stay
D                                   G                       D
But my hearts like an old cat's tail and love's a rocking chair
D
Always do my best to keep my distance
G                 A        D
These things that I don't dare

[Chorus]
A
If loving means hurting
          G            D
I think I'll just be on my way
A
Never much of one for bleeding hearts
        G                   A
I just don't think I want to play

[Outro]
D                                   G                       D
But my hearts like an old cat's tail and love's a rocking chair
D                                          G                 A        D
Always do my best to keep my distance from these things that I don't dare
G                 A        D
These things that I don't dare
