D
I can't stand the smell of smoke
G D
But I bought myself a pack

Borowed a light from a stranger

Nearly choked on that first drag

And I hate the taste of whiskey
G D
And this barroom ain't my style
Bm A G
But I'll try anything not to hurt for a while.

Seems like forever since I looked
G D
Into the eyes of another man

In my lifetime I've never known a one night stand

Lord knows it's wrong to let a stranger turn out your bedroom light
Bm A G
But I'll try anything not to hurt for awhile

I'm tired, so tired of cryin'

Tired of reachin' for a memory in the middle of the night

So sick of pain runnin' through my veins

Overtakin' my whole life

I'll try anything not to hurt for a while.

It ain't like me to be a cussin'

Gettin tore up in this bar

Guess a good ole girl can backslap

runin' from a broken heart

I pray the good lord ain't a lookin
G D
takin' notes on me tonight

'Cause I'll try anything not to hurt for a while
