Verse 1:
  G+G          C majorC
You run yourself ragged tryin' to be strong.
G+G           C majorC
You feel bad when you done nothin' wrong.
G+G             C majorC
Love got all confused with anger and pride.
G+G            C majorC
So much abuse on such a little child.
G+G          C majorC
Someone you trusted told you to shut up, now there's a
G+G             C majorC
pain in your gut that you can't get rid of.
G+G             C majorC
No one heard your screams, when you were nine. When
G+G           C majorC
bad dreams filled your summertime. So,

Chorus:
G+G           C majorC
you don't always show your sweet side.
G+G           C majorC
You don't always show your sweet side.
G+G           C majorC
You don't always show your sweet side.
G+G           C majorC
You don't always show your sweet side.

Verse 2:
    G+G           C majorC
You're tough as steel and you keep your chin up.
G+G                C majorC
You don't ever feel like you're good enough.
G+G             C majorC
You've had the blues ever since you were six. Your
G+G              C majorC
little tennis shoes and your pick-up sticks. You were
G+G           C majorC
screamed at and kicked over and over. Now you
G+G            C majorC
always feel sick and you can't keep a lover.
G+G             C majorC
Every Christmas there were presents to unwrap but the
G+G                 C majorC
things you witnessed when you were five and a half. So

Chorus:
G+G           C majorC
you don't always show your sweet side.
G+G           C majorC
You don't always show your sweet side.
G+G           C majorC
You don't always show your sweet side.
G+G           C majorC
You don't always show your sweet side.

Verse 3:
G+G             C majorC
Someone deserted you, the damage is done. Now
G+G            C majorC
you don't deserve to be loved by no one.
G+G             C majorC
Hands that would feed you, when you were two were the
G+G            C majorC
same hands that beat you black and blue.
G+G          C majorC
You get defensive at every turn. You're
G+G          C majorC
overly sensitive and overly concerned.
G+G           C majorC
Few precious memories no lullabies.
G+G         C majorC
Hollowed out centu-ries of lies. So

Chorus:
G+G           C majorC
you don't always show your sweet side.
G+G           C majorC
You don't always show your sweet side.
G+G           C majorC
You don't always show your sweet side.
G+G           C majorC
You don't always show your sweet side.

Verse 4:
   G+G            C majorC
I've seen you in the kitchen cookin' me supper. I
G+G               C majorC
listened to you bitchin' and I watched you suffer.
G+G               C majorC
I still love you baby 'cause I know you. Don't
G+G          C majorC
mean to do the cruel things you do. I've
G+G            C majorC
seen you sewin' buttons on your shirt. I've
G+G               C majorC
seen you throwin' up when your stomach hurt.

G+G               C majorC
I'll stick by you baby through thick and thin. No
G+G          C majorC
matter what kind of shape you're in. 'Cause

Chorus 2:
G+G       C majorC
I-iiii've seen your sweet side
G+G       C majorC
I-iiii've seen your sweet side
G+G       C majorC
I-iiii've seen your sweet side
G+G       C majorC
I-iiii've seen your sweet side

Chorus 3:
G+G       C majorC
I've seen your sweet side baby.
G+G       C majorC
I've seen your sweet side.
G+G       C majorC

I've seen your sweet side.
