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, 

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 

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 

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 

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  

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.
