G

[Verse 1]
G
So many years of fighting off the world
G
Has left me with scars on my hand
G
At times I thought I'd die from the wounds I received
G
But now I wanna make you understand

[Chorus 1]
    D                     G
My bark is worse than my bite
    D                         G
My feelings are out in plain sight
Em                 A
Don't be afraid to touch me
Em                 A
Don't be afraid to love me, baby
    D                     G
My bark is worse than my bite
    D                         G
My feelings are out in plain sight
Em                 A
Don't be afraid to touch me
Em                 A
Don't be afraid to love me, baby

[Verse 2]
G
You are such a teacher to me; you are so gentle
G
If I am rough you wilt right away
G
Or shatter into pieces, and I am left with nothing
G
I'm learning to be kinder everyday

[Chorus 2]
    D                     G
My bark is worse than my bite
    D                         G
My feelings are out in plain sight
Em                 A
Don't be afraid to touch me
Em                 A
Don't be afraid to love me, baby
    D                     G
My bark is worse than my bite
    D                         G
My feelings are out in plain sight
Em                 A
Don't be afraid to touch me
Em                 A
Don't be afraid to love me, baby

[Bridge]
F#  G            F#     G
But don't get me pissed off
F#   G              A           D
'Cuz I'll bite your pretty head off
F#  G           F#  G
And I'll regret the day
F# G         A     D
I drove your love away
F#   G      F#   G
I've always been mean
F# G          A     D
I wreck each happy scene
   F#  G     F#   G
And I regret the day
F# G         A     D
I drove your love away

[Chorus 3]

    D                     G
My bark is worse than my bite
    D                         G
My feelings are out in plain sight
Em                 A
Don't be afraid to touch me
Em                 A
Don't be afraid to love me, baby

[Outro]

    D                     G
My bark is worse than my bite
    D                     G
My bark is worse than my bite
    D                     G
My bark is worse than my bite
    D                     G
My bark is worse than my bite
