These Things That I Don't Dare
[Intro]
D G D
[Verse 1]
D G D
Guess that I'm still living; you say you've seen me 'round
D G A
Usually when I see you first I put my head down
D G D
Like a cats afraid of slamming doors and innocent old rocking chairs
D
Guess that I am afraid of heartache
G A D
These things that I don't dare
[Chorus]
A
If loving means hurting
G D
I think I'll just be on my way
A
Never much of one for bleeding hearts
G A
I just don't think I want to play
[Verse 2]
D G D
If love was like a poker table I'd have folded long ago
D G A
Kept my cards close to my chest afraid to let them show
D G D
Always have to have the pat hand never betting on the pair
D
Couldn't stand the risks involved with winning
G A D
These things that I don't dare
[Chorus]
A
If loving means hurting
G D
I think I'll just be on my way
A
Never much of one for bleeding hearts
G A
I just don't think I want to play
[Verse 3]
D G D
Oh, I cuss my inhibitions wish I had the nerve to say
D G A
The things about the way I feel and how I wish you'd stay
D G D
But my hearts like an old cat's tail and love's a rocking chair
D
Always do my best to keep my distance
G A D
These things that I don't dare
[Chorus]
A
If loving means hurting
G D
I think I'll just be on my way
A
Never much of one for bleeding hearts
G A
I just don't think I want to play
[Outro]
D G D
But my hearts like an old cat's tail and love's a rocking chair
D G A D
Always do my best to keep my distance from these things that I don't dare
G A D
These things that I don't dare
