INTRO: G
I'm my daddy when I drink, my mama when I cry
Em
I'm honest when I tell the truth and lying when I lie
C
And there's a lot of things that I don't do
G
'Cause I don't follow through like I want to
D
But I don't want to
G
The devil's begging for my time, the good lord for my soul
Em
I'm always easier to catch than I've ever been to hold
C
I'm a twisted rose, a tangled weed
G
The last thing that I need is to want you
D
'Cause I don't want to
CHORUS:
C G
But that ain't what this love's about
D G
My heart ain't on my side
D Em C
And if someday it don't work out
D G
Then we can say we tried
I'm not afraid of anything, but now I'm running scared
Em
I know the hurt that this could bring is more than I could bear
C
I'm tired of wearing lonely shoes
G
I've nothing left to lose that I don't want to
D
But I don't want to
CHORUS:
C G
'Cause that ain't what this love's about
D G
My heart ain't on my side
D Em C
And if someday it don't work out
D G
Then we can say we tried
INSTRUMENTAL: G Em C G D
CHORUS:
C G
That ain't what this love's about
D G
My heart ain't on my side
D Em C
And if someday it don't work out
D Em
Then we can say we tried
C D G
Yeah, we can say we tried
