Capo 3 
 
Intro:  D  G  Bm  A  
 
 
Verse 1: 
 
        D 
I can't stand the smell of smoke 
 
      G               D 
But I bought myself a pack 
 
          Bm 
Borowed a light from a stranger  
 
       G 
Nearly choked on that first drag 
 
      D 
And I hate the taste of whiskey 
 
         G                D 
And this barroom ain't my style 
 
             Bm             A          G 
But I'll try anything not to hurt for a while. 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
           D 
Seems like forever since I looked 
 
          G               D 
Into the eyes of another man 
 
      Bm                 G 
In my lifetime I've never known a one night stand 
 
                D                            G                D 
Lord knows it's wrong to let a stranger turn out your bedroom light 
 
             Bm             A        G    
But I'll try anything not to hurt for awhile  
 
 
Chorus: 
 
    D                  G 
I'm tired, so tired of cryin'  
 
         Bm                          A 
Tired of reachin' for a memory in the middle of the night 
 
   G       D  
So sick of pain runnin' through my veins 
 
    G 
Overtakin' my whole life 
 
         Bm             A          G 
I'll try anything not to hurt for a while. 
 
         D               A          D        G 
I'll try anything not to hurt for a while 
 
 
Verse 2: 
 
              D 
It ain't like me to be a cussin' 
 
       G               D 
Gettin tore up in this bar 
 
        Bm 
Guess a good ole girl can backslap 
 
       G 
runin' from a broken heart 
 
           D 
I pray the good lord ain't a lookin 
 
       G           D 
takin' notes on me tonight 
 
                Bm             A          G 
'Cause I'll try anything not to hurt for a while 
 
 
Chorus x2 
 
 
Outro:  D  G  Bm  A  G D
