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
