You been hurt and you're all cried out you say
F                                                  C
You walk down the street pushing people outta your way

You packed your bags and all alone you wanna ride
F
You don't want nothing, don't need no one by your side
                      C                            G
You're walking tough, baby but you're walking blind
                 F
To the ties that bind

              C    G  F
The ties that bind
               C  G               F     F  G  C
Now you can't break the ties that bind

C
Cheap romance, it's all just a crutch
F                                        C
You don't want nothing that anybody can touch

You're so afraid of being somebody's fool
F
Not walking tough, baby not walking cool
                    C                            G
You walk cool, but darling, can you walk the line
                       F
And face the ties that bind

              C   G  F
The ties that bind
               C  G               F     F  G  C
Now you can't break the ties that bind

   G                      Am     F                  G
Oh I, I'd rather feel the hurt inside, yes I would darling
                             Am         F
Than know the emptiness your heart must hide
             C                   G
Yes I would darling, yes I would darling,
            F  G
Yes I would baby

You sit and wonder just who's gonna stop the rain
G                                               D
Who'll ease the sadness, who's gonna quiet the pain

It's a long dark highway and a thin white line
G
Connecting baby your heart to mine
                       D                           A
We're running now but darling we will stand in time
                       G
To face the ties that bind
