G I've always said that being honest is what this thing is all about D C D G The way I always play this game is one strike and you're out C There ain't no point is being sorry There ain't no point is being nice D Cause I'm not gonna hang around and let your lightning strike me twice. CHORUS: G A I just can't stand to be unhappy I can't abide with being blue C D I don't like to feel like crying and I just hate when I do. G A I just can't stand to be unhappy I've got no use for misery C D You've made this bed you can lie in it and you can do it without me G Cause I just can't stand to be unhappy. G Now honey I just can't imagine whatever were you thinking of D C D G That you would be so rash and reckless as to gamble with our love. G Cause love ain't worth a wooden nickel if you haven't got the trust. D C D G The brightest fire burns to ashes The sweet dreams bite the dust. C There ain't no point is being sorry There ain't no point in being nice D Cause I ain't gonna hang around and let your lightning strike me twice. Chorus. Ad lib ending. G A I just can't stand to be unhappy I can't abide with being blue C D I don't like feeling like crying and I just hate it when I do G A I just can't stand to be unhappy I can't stand one tear in my eye C D My feet just itch to hit the highway My hands just twitch to wave goodbye.
