C 
You been hurt and you're all cried out you say 
F                                                  C 
You walk down the street pushing people outta your way 

You packed your bags and all alone you wanna ride 
F 
You don't want nothing, don't need no one by your side 
                      C                            G 
You're walking tough, baby but you're walking blind 
                 F 
To the ties that bind 

              C    G  F 
The ties that bind 
               C  G               F     F  G  C 
Now you can't break the ties that bind 

C 
Cheap romance, it's all just a crutch 
F                                        C 
You don't want nothing that anybody can touch 

You're so afraid of being somebody's fool 
F 
Not walking tough, baby not walking cool 
                    C                            G 
You walk cool, but darling, can you walk the line 
                       F 
And face the ties that bind 

              C   G  F 
The ties that bind 
               C  G               F     F  G  C 
Now you can't break the ties that bind 

   G                      Am     F                  G 
Oh I, I'd rather feel the hurt inside, yes I would darling 
                             Am         F 
Than know the emptiness your heart must hide 
             C                   G 
Yes I would darling, yes I would darling, 
            F  G 
Yes I would baby

G                                               D 
Who'll ease the sadness, who's gonna quiet the pain 

It's a long dark highway and a thin white line 
G 
Connecting baby your heart to mine 
                       D                           A 
We're running now but darling we will stand in time 
                       G 
To face the ties that bind
