G              C    

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

[Chorus]
G                     C
you don't always show your sweet side.
G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.
G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.
G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.

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

[Chorus]
G                     C
you don't always show your sweet side.
G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.
G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.
G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.

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

[Chorus]
G                     C
you don't always show your sweet side.
G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.
G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.
G                     C
You don't always show your sweet side.

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

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

[Chorus 2]
G              C
I-iiii've seen your sweet side 
G              C
I-iiii've seen your sweet side 
G              C
I-iiii've seen your sweet side 
G              C
I-iiii've seen your sweet side 

[Chorus 3]
G              C
I've seen your sweet side baby.
G              C
I've seen your sweet side. 
G              C
I've seen your sweet side baby.
G              C
I've seen your sweet side.
