[Verse 1]
[C]You been hurt and you're all
cried out you [F]say
You walk down the street
pushin' people outta your [C]way
You packed your bags and all alone
you want to [F]ride
You don't want nothin',
don't need no one by your side
You're walkin' tough [C]baby,
but you're walkin' [G]blind
To the ties that [F]bind

[Chorus 1]
The ties that [C]bind[G][F]
Now you can't [C]break[G]
the ties that [F]bind[G]

[Verse 2]
[C]Cheap romance, it's all just a cru[F]tch
You don't want nothin' that anybody can [C]touch
You're so afraid of being
somebody's [F]fool
Not walkin' tough baby, not walkin' cool
You walk cool, but [C]darlin',
can you walk the [G]line
And face the ties that [F]bind

[Chorus 2]
The ties that [C]bind[G][F]
Now you can't [C]break[G]
the ties that [F]bind[G][C]

[Bridge 1]
Oh [G]I, I'd rather feel the [Am]hurt [F]inside,
yes I would [G]darlin'
Than know the emptiness your
[Am]heart must [F]hide
Yes I would, [C]darlin', yes I would, [G]darlin'
Yes I would, [F]ba- [G]by

[Verse 3]
[D]You sit and wonder just
who's gonna stop the [G]rain
Who'll ease the sadness,
who's gonna quiet your [D]pain
It's a long dark highway
and a thin white [G]line
Connecting baby, your heart to mine
We're runnin' now but [D]darlin'
we will stand in [A]time
To face the ties that [G]bind

[Chorus 3]
The ties that [D]bind[A][G]
Now you can't [D]break[A]
the ties that [G]bind
You can't for- [D]sake [A]the ties that bin[G]d
Oh- [A]oh-

[Outro 1]
[D]oh- [A]oh- [G]oh- [D]oh
