Capo 2 
 
 
G                                             C 
The phone call in the middle of the night, it never came 
G                                                         
She's been walkin' on pins and needles waitin' for the  
C 
phone to ring 
           D 
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 
 
 
 
            
           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 
 
 
 
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 our kitchen was 
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 
 
 
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 
 
 
Em               C           G              D        
But I found someone tough enough to love a man like me  
Em                           C                       G 
In spite of the tears she's cried and the time she's tried  
            D 
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 
 
 
 
 
Note: Sorry if some of the lyrics are messed up.  Also, in the chorus, walkdown from G to Em.
