F
When I was a kid the things I did were
C
hidden under the grid
G
Young and naive, i never believed that love
Am
could be so well hid
F
With regret I'm willing to bet
C
they say 'the older you get
G Am
It gets harder to forgive and harder to forget
F C
It gets under your shirt like a dagger at work
G
The first cut is the deepest but
Am
the rest still flippin' hurt
F
You build your heart of plastic,
C
you're cynical and sarcastic
G
and you end up in the corner on your own
F
'Cos I'd love to feel love,
C
but i can't stand the rejection
G Am
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
F
I thought i was close,
C
but under further inspection
G
It seems I've been running,
Am
in the wrong direction, oh no
F C G Am (x2)
F
What's the point in getting your hopes up,
C
when all you're ever getting is choked up?
G
When you're coked up, and can't remember
Am
the reason why you broke up
F
You'll call her in the morning when
C
you're coming down and falling
G
Like an old man on the side of the road
F
When you're apart, you don't wanna mingle
C
When you're together you wanna be single
G
Ever the chase to taste the kiss of bliss
Am
that made your heart tingle
F
How much greener the grass is
C
Through those rose tinted glasses
G
And the butterflies that flutter by and
leave us on our arses
F
'Cos I want to feel love,
C
but i can't stand the rejection
G Am
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
F C
I thought i was close, but under further inspection
G Am
It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction
F C
There's fish in the sea for me to make a selection
G Am
I'd jump in, if it wasn't for my ear infection
F C
All I really want is just to make a connection
G
But it seems I've been running
Am
in the wrong direction, oh no
F C G Am (x2)
F C
What is love? Baby don't hurt me
Am G
Don't hurt me, No more, No more (x3)
F C G Am F C G C
