[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 I'm willing to bet 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                                    Am
The first cut is the deepest but the rest still flippin' hurt

    F                                   C
You build your heart of plastic, you're cynical and sarcastic

        G
and you end up in the corner on your own
[Chorus]
F                                       C
'Cos I'd love to feel love, 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, oh no
[Instrumental] F C G Am (x2) [Verse]
           F                                             
What's the point in getting your hopes up, when all you're ever getting is 

C
choked up?

            G                                Am
When you're coked up, and can't remember the reason why you broke up

       F                                   C
You'll call her in the morning when 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                                     Am
Ever the chase to taste the kiss of bliss 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
'Cos I want to feel love, 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                              Am
But it seems I've been running in the wrong direction, oh no
[Instrumental] F C G Am (x2) [Bridge]
        F          C
What is love? Baby don't hurt me

      Am
Don't hurt me

   G
No more

        F          C
What is love? Baby don't hurt me

      Am
Don't hurt me

   G
No more

        F          C
What is love? Baby don't hurt me

      Am
Don't hurt me

   G
No more
[Outro] F C G Am F C G C
