Intro: G
---
I'm my daddy when I drink, my mama when I cry
Em
I'm honest when I tell the truth and lying when I lie
C
And there's a lot of things that I don't do
G
'Cause I don't follow through like I want to
D
But I don't want to
---
G
The devil's begging for my time, the good lord for my soul
Em
I'm always easier to catch than I've ever been to hold
C
I'm a twisted rose, a tangled weed
G
The last thing that I need is to want you
D
'Cause I don't want to
Chorus:
CG
But that ain't what this love's about
DG
My heart ain't on my side
DEmC
And if someday it don't work out
DG
Then we can say we tried
I'm not afraid of anything, but now I'm running scared
Em
I know the hurt that this could bring is more than I could bear
C
I'm tired of wearing lonely shoes
G
I've nothing left to lose that I don't want to
D
But I don't want to
Chorus:
CG
'Cause that ain't what this love's about
DG
My heart ain't on my side
DEmC
And if someday it don't work out
DG
Then we can say we tried
