Capo V

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
