Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

 I can't stand the smell of smoke

 But I bought myself a pack

 Borowed a light from a stranger

 Nearly choked on that first drag

 And I hate the taste of whiskey

 And this barroom ain't my style

 But I'll try anything not to hurt for a while.

Verse 2

 Seems like forever since I looked

 Into the eyes of another man

 In my lifetime I've never known a one night stand

 Lord knows it's wrong to let a stranger turn out your bedroom light

 But I'll try anything not to hurt for awhile

Chorus

 I'm tired, so tired of cryin'

 Tired of reachin' for a memory in the middle of the night

 So sick of pain runnin' through my veins

 Overtakin' my whole life

 I'll try anything not to hurt for a while.

 I'll try anything not to hurt for a while

Verse 2

 It ain't like me to be a cussin'

 Gettin tore up in this bar

 Guess a good ole girl can backslap

 runin' from a broken heart

 I pray the good lord ain't a lookin

 takin' notes on me tonight

 'Cause I'll try anything not to hurt for a while

Chorus x2
