(Verse 2)
So hold your head up and tell yourself that there’s something more
And walk out that door
Go find a new rose, don’t be afraid of the thorns
Cause we all have thorns
Just put your feet up to the edge
Put your face in the wind
And when you fall back down
Keep on remembering

(Chorus)
Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night, turns into day
Every heartache, will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

Am C Am F X4

(Bridge)
It’s gonna run out of pain
It’s gonna run out of steam
It’s gonna leave you alone
C (Stop let ring)
Its gonna set you free, set you free

(Chorus)
Every storm runs, runs out of rain
Just like every dark night, turns into day
Every heartache, will fade away
Just like every storm runs, runs out of rain

Am F C G X5 (end on G)

To you I’m just the man who let you down
The one who never gave you what you need
It’s true I wasn’t always around
Back when you were reaching out for me
I know you think I didn’t care
You say I’m just the hurting kind,
I know you think my heart wasn’t there
But I’m begging you to think it through one more time

CHORUS)
Cause you don’t know a thing about me
If you don’t know how much I miss you
And you don’t know a thing about me
Unless you know how much I need to be with you
Well I see the mistakes I made
The way I acted carelessly
But if you don’t know how much I need your forgiveness
Then you don’t know a thing about me

If I could just go back and make it right
And take the tears away you know I would
I’ve come to you with no excuse tonight
Just a prayer that I’ll be understood
You tell me that I’m never gonna change
I’ll always be the same old guy
You think there’s nothing left for us to say
Before you write me off take a look in my eyes

Chorus

If you don’t know how much I need your forgiveness
Then you don’t know a thing about me

No you don’t know a thing about me
You don’t know a thing about me,
Well you don’t know a thing about me

–Don?t tell mama– Gary Allan

I was headed north on Highway Five
On a star-lit Sunday night
When a pick-up truck flew by me
out of control

As I watched in my headlights
He swerved left then back right
He never hit the brakes
As he left the road

I found him lying in the grass
Among the steel and glass
With an empty whiskey bottle
by his side

And through the blood and tears
He whispered in my ear
A few last words
just before he died

Don’t tell Mama I was drinkin’
Lord knows her soul would never rest
I can’t leave this world with Mama thinkin’
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath

I still think about that night
And how that young man died
And how others sometimes pay
for our mistakes

The last thing on his mind
As he left this world behind
Was knowing someone else’s
heart would break

Don’t tell Mama I was drinkin’
Lord knows her soul would never rest
I can’t leave this world with Mama thinkin’
I met the Lord with whiskey on my breath

Don’t tell Mama I was drinkin’

Intro :
[D/C#] [Bm/A]

I never once backed [F#m/D]down from a punch
Well, I’d take it square on the chin
Well I found out fast, a bullya[D/C#]s just that
And youave got to stand up to him
So I didn’t cry when I [F#m/D]got a black eye
As bad as it hurt I just grinned
But when tough little boys grow up to [D/C#] be Dads[Bm/A]
They turn into big babies again
Scared me to death when you took your first steps
Well I’d fall everytime you fell down[D/C#]
And your first day of school, I cried like a [D/F#]fool
And I followed your school bus to town

Chorus:
Well I didn’t cry when [F#m/D]old Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to [D/C#] be Dads[Bm/A]
They turn into big babies again

[D/C#] [Bm/A]

Well I’m a grown man but as [F#m/D]strong as I am
Well sometimes it’s hard to believe
How one little girl with little [D/C#]blonde curls
Can totally terrify me
If you were to ask, my [F#m/D]wife would just laugh
She’d say I know all about men
How tough little boys grow up to [D/C#] be Dads[Bm/A]
They turn into big babies again
Well I know one day I’ll give you away
And I’m gonna to stand there and smile
But when I get home and I’m all a[G/F#]lone
Then I’ll sit in your room for awhile

Chorus:
Well I didn’t cry when [F#m/D]old Yeller died
At least not in front of my friends
But when tough little boys grow up to [D/C#] be Dads[Bm/A]

When tough little boys grow up to [D/C#] be Dads
They turn into big babies again

Intro
Life ain’t always beautiful.
Sometimes it's just plain hard.
Life can knock you down,
Rif 1
It can break your heart.
Life ain’t always beautiful.
You think you’re on your way.
And it’s just a dead end road,
Rif 1
At the end of the day.

But the struggles make me stronger,
And the changes make me wise.
And happiness has it’s own way,
Of takin’ it’s sweet t[Asus-A]ime.

No, life ain’t always beautiful.
Tears will fall sometimes.
Life ain’t always beautiful,
Rif 1
But it’s a beautiful ride.

Life ain’t always beautiful.
Some days, I miss your smile.
I get tired of walkin’ all,
Rif 1
These lonely miles.

And I wish for just one minute,
I could see your pretty face.
Guess I can dream,
G Rif 1
But life don’t work that way.

But the struggles make me stronger,
And the changes make me wise.
And happiness has it’s own way,
Of takin’ it’s sweet t[Asus-A]ime.

No, life ain’t always beautiful.
But I know I’ll be fine.
Hey, life ain’t always beautiful,
Rif 1
But it’s a beautiful ride.
G Rif 1
What a beautiful ride.

Gary Allan “Tough Goodbye”

The inversion chords on this song should be played with only a few notes, and are designed to be
electric guitar chords, but they will sound fine on your flat top. If the
fingering is too challenging,
simplify by not playing one or more strings. Have fun!

Capo 4

Intro:


All the days that ended well into tomorrow
All the times I couldn’t lay it on the line
This old conscience that I could never follow
I hate to say it but I wish it wasn’t mine

All the broken hearts that didn’t see it comin’
All the tears that should have never hit the floor
All the lookin’ back but mainly all the runnin’
All these reasons I’m standing at your door

I think I’ve had enough
This time I’m givin’ in
Without you it’s too rough
So I’m standing here again
I finally realize
It’s love that never dies
And I’m really not that tough
No I’m really not that tough
I think I’ve had enough

Life is gonna be a circus
Rain or shine
Rides did always make me nervous
So if I’m gonna ride the Ferris wheel
I’ll need your hand in mine

Instrumental:


I think I’ve had enough
This time I’m givin’ in
Without you it’s too rough
So I’m crawling back again
I finally realize
It’s love that never dies
And I’m really not that tough
No I’m really not that tough
I think I’ve had enough
I’m really not that tough
I think I’ve had enough
Think I’ve had enough

Intro: D-A-Bm-A-D

Sometimes I think about the touch of your skin
The taste of your lips and it all comes rushing back again
And I start to spin
I think about you when the skies turn gray
Always reminds me of the love we made
Back when you were here
Well, here come the tears
Of yesterdays rain Yesterday’s rain

Well, it’s better to have loved and lost than not at all
But I still love to feel it fall
Yesterday’s rain It’s just yesterday’s rain

Well, I’ve been told I shouldn’t stand in your rain
That’s the only place I see your face
I can see you face
It took sometime to heal, but I’ve moved on
I still go back in time and stand in your storm’s
Familiar’s warmth Always feels like home
Of yesterdays rain Yesterday’s rain

Well, it’s better to have loved and lost than not at all
But I still love to feel it fall
Yesterday’s rain It’s just yesterday’s rain

Let your memory soak me to the bone
Reminds me that I’m not alone in yesterday’s rain
It’s just yesterday’s rain
That’s just yesterday’s pain
Think I’ll walk in yesterday’s rain

Outro: (D-Bm-A) (D-Bm-A) (D-Bm-A) (D-Bm-A)
