[F] [Bb] [F]
[C] [Dm]
[Bb] [F]
[C]
[Bb] When I was a kid the things I did [F] were hidden under the grid
[C] Young and naive I never believed [Dm] that love could be so well hid
[Bb] With regret I'm willing to bet [F] you say the old Enid K
[C] Gets harder to forgive [Dm] and harder to forget
[Bb] It gets under your shirt [F] like a dagger of work
[C] The first cut is the deepest [Dm] but the rest are flipping hurt
[Bb] You build your heart of [F] plastic, you're cynical and [C] sarcastic
And end up in the corner on your own
[Bb] Cos I love to feel loved [F] but I can't stand the rejection
[C] I hide behind my jokes [Dm] as a form of protection
[Bb] I thought I was close [F] but under further inspection
[C] Seems I've been running [Dm] in the wrong direction, [Bb] oh no
[F]
[C] [Dm]
[Bb] [F]
[C] So [Bb] what's the point in getting your hopes [F] up
When are you ever getting these choked [C] up when you're coped up
I can't [Dm] remember the reason [Bb] why I broke up
You call her in the morning [F] when you're coming down and falling
[C] Like an old man on the side of the road
[Bb] Cos when you're apart you don't wanna mingle
[F] When you're together you wanna be single
[C] Never the chaste to taste the kiss [Dm] of bliss that made your heart tingle
[Bb] How much greener the grass is [F] with those rose tinted glasses
[C] But the butterflies they flutter by and lose the sun arouses
[Bb] Cos I love to feel loved [F] but I can't stand the rejection
[C] I hide behind my jokes [Dm] as a form of protection
[Bb] I thought I was close [F] but under further inspection
[C] Seems I've been running [Dm] in the wrong direction
[Bb] There's fish in the sea for [F] me to make a selection
[C] I'd jump in if it wasn't [Dm] for my ear infection
[Bb] Cos all I wanna do is [F] try to make a connection
[C] Seems I've been running [Dm] in the wrong direction, [Bb] oh
[F]
[C] [Dm]
[Bb] [F]
[C]
I [Bb] love to feel loved [F] but I can't stand the rejection
[C] I hide behind my jokes [Dm] as a form of protection
[Bb] I thought I was close [F] but under further inspection
[C] Seems I've been running [Dm] in the wrong direction
[Bb] I love to feel loved but [F] I can't stand the rejection
[C] I hide behind my jokes [Dm] as a form of protection
[Bb] And I thought I was close [F] but under further inspection
[C] It seems I've been running [Dm] in the wrong direction, [Bb] oh
[F]
[C] Seems like I'm running [Dm] in the wrong direction, [Bb] oh
Seems [F]
[C] like I'm running [Dm] in the wrong direction, [Bb] oh
[F]
Well, [C] it seems I've been running [Dm] in the wrong direction, [Bb] oh
It [F]
[C] seems I've been running [Dm] in the wrong direction, oh
[N]
