Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 Yeah I'm a hard man to love

 But thank God she does

 Keep holdin' on, bein' strong

 When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough

Soft as silk she stands

 By her barbed wire man

 She's never given up

 I'm a hard man to love

There's a dog house rose that God knows I didn't send soon enough

Sittin' in the middle of a crippled kitchen table barely standing up from

where I kicked it once.

It ain't pretty enough to make up for me

messin' up the only love a man could ever need

She shines forgiveness from her patient eyes

I don't see what they see in me

(Repeat Course)

But I found someone tough enough to love a man like me

In spite of the tears she's cried and the time she's tried so hard to love

 This hard man to love

 But thank God she does

 Keep holdin' on, bein' strong

 When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough

Soft as silk she stands

 By her barbed wire man

 She's never given up

 I'm a hard man to love

No she's never given up

On this hard man to love
