Chords

fairly simple picking pattern and the chorus is strummed. Play around with it and see what feels right. * - strum once [Intro] G Em C D [Verse 1]
G                  Em
I ain’t gonna lie, I’m a little bit torn

C                                D
Been left out in the rain, heart weathered and worn

G                  Em
I’ve seen too much, been kicked around

C                   D
Don’t trust easy, been let down

G                  Em
Like a dog behind a chain-link fence

C                   D
Eyes full of stories that don’t make sense

G                              Em
I might growl, I might hide, but deep inside

C                               D*
I just want a hand that won’t let go this time
[Chorus]
                   Cadd9      G        D      G
So if you’re gonna love me, girl, you gotta know

        Cadd9      G        D      G
If you take a shelter dog, you better move slow

            Cadd9                    G
I’ll need patience, And love that’s right

            D                     G
I’ve been broken I don’t mean to bite

                Cadd9      G    D       G
If you’re gonna love me, girl  love me right

                Cadd9      G          D      G
If you’re gonna love me, girl Better hold me tight
[Verse 2]
G                          Em
I come with scars you might not see

C                             D
A bark that’s tougher than it needs to be

G                              Em
I’ll flinch at kindness, I’ve learned to run

C                            D
But all I really want is to trust someone

G                         Em
It ain’t easy, babe, to fix what’s torn

C                              D
But if you hold me close, I’ll start to warm

G                       Em
It’s not that I don’t want to try

C                                  D*
It’s just hard when you’ve been left outside
[Chorus]
                   Cadd9      G        D      G
So if you’re gonna love me, girl, you gotta know

        Cadd9      G        D      G
If you take a shelter dog, you better move slow

            Cadd9                    G
I’ll need patience, And love that’s right

            D                     G
I’ve been broken I don’t mean to bite

                Cadd9      G    D       G
If you’re gonna love me, girl  love me right

                Cadd9      G          D      G
If you’re gonna love me, girl Better hold me tight
[Verse 3]
G                  Em
But I’ll be loyal, I’ll be true

C                   D
If you show me love, I’ll follow you

G                  Em
I’ve got a heart that’s been locked away

        C                   D
But I’m hoping you're here to stay
[Outro]
                 Cadd9*   G*            D*      G*
If you’re gonna love me, girl Better hold me tight

                Cadd9*      G*    D*       G*
If you’re gonna love me, girl  love me right
