G                                             C           G
The phone call in the middle of the night, it never came
G
She's been walkin' on pins and needles waitin' for the phone to ring
C
To put her mind at ease
G
The suns' comin' up and I'm comin' in
                 C                    D
With another "I'm sorry, It won't happen again"
   Em                   G
I can't understand why she never ran
      C                          D
When anybody in their right mind would


[Chorus]
           G
Yeah I'm a hard man to love
     Em
But thank God she does
     C
Keep holdin' on, bein' strong
          D
When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough
G
Soft as silk she stands
       Em
By her barbed wire man
       C
She's never given up
      D
I'm a hard man to love


[Verse]
G                                                     C
There's a dog house rose that God knows I didn't send soon enough
G
Sittin' in the middle of a crippled kitchen table barely standing up from
C
where I kicked it once.
G
It ain't pretty enough to make up for me
C                                 D
messin' up the only love a man could ever need
Em
She shines forgiveness from her patient eyes
C                            D
I don't see what they see in me


[Chorus]
           G
Yeah I'm a hard man to love
     Em
But thank God she does
     C
Keep holdin' on, bein' strong
          D
When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough
G
Soft as silk she stands
       Em
By her barbed wire man
       C
She's never given up
      D
I'm a hard man to love


[Bridge]
Em                C           G               D
But I found someone tough enough to love a man like me
Em                            C                        G              D
In spite of the tears she's cried and the time she's tried so hard to love


[Chorus]
     G
This hard man to love
     Em
But thank God she does
     C
Keep holdin' on, bein' strong
          D
When "I'm sorry" just ain't enough
G
Soft as silk she stands
       Em
By her barbed wire man
        C
She's never given up
      D
I'm a hard man to love
      C
No she's never given up
      D
On this hard man to love
