Intro: F C G Am

Verse:
 F                                             C
When i was a kid the things i did were hidden under the grid
 G                                                 Am
Young and naive, i never believed that love could be so well hid
 F                                            C
With regret Iʼm willing to bet they say ʼthe 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                                    Am
The first cut is the deepest but the rest still flippinʼ hurt
    F                                   C
You build your heart of plastic, youʼre cynical and sarcastic
        G
and you end up in the corner on your own

Chorus:
 F                                       C
ʼCos Iʼd love to feel love, but i canʼt 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 Iʼve been running, in the wrong direction, oh no

F C G Am x2

Verse:
           F
Whatʼs the point in getting your hopes up,
when all youʼre ever getting is
 C
choked up?
            G                                Am
When youʼre coked up, and canʼt remember the reason
why you broke up
       F                                   C
Youʼll call her in the morning when youʼre coming down and falling
        G
Like an old man on the side of the road
            F
When youʼre apart, you donʼt wanna mingle
            C
When youʼre 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

Chorus:
 F                                       C
ʼCos I want to feel love, but i canʼt 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 Iʼve been running, in the wrong direction
        F                         C
Thereʼs fish in the sea for me to make a selection
    G                            Am
Iʼd jump in, if it wasnʼt for my ear infection
 F                            C
All I really want is just to make a connection
       G                              Am
But it seems Iʼve been running in the wrong direction, oh no

F C G Am x2

        F          C
What is love? Baby donʼt hurt me
      Am
Donʼt hurt me
   G
No more
        F          C
What is love? Baby donʼt hurt me
      Am
Donʼt hurt me
   G
No more
        F          C
What is love? Baby donʼt hurt me
      Am
Donʼt hurt me
   G
No more
