[Intro]
[A#] [F] [C] [Dm]
[Verse1]
[A#]When I was a kid the things I did were hidden [F]under the grid
[C]Young and naive, I never believed that love could [Dm]be so well hid
[A#]With regret I'm willing to bet they say the [F]older you get
[C]It gets harder to forgive and harder [Dm]to forget
[A#]It gets under your shirt like a [F]dagger at work
[C]The first cut is the deepest but the [Dm]rest still flippin' hurt
You [A#]build your heart of plastic, you're [F]cynical and sarcastic
And you [C]end up in the corner on your own
[Chorus]
[A#]'Cos I'd love to feel love, but I can't [F]stand the rejection
I [C]hide behind my jokes as a [Dm]form of protection
I [A#]thought I was close, but under [F]further inspection
It [C]seems I've been running, in the [Dm]wrong direction, oh no
[Interlude]
[A#] [F] [C] [Dm] [x2]
[Verse2]
What's the [A#]point in getting your hopes up, when all you're ever getting is [F]choked up?
When you're [C]coked up, and can't remember the [Dm]reason why you broke up
You'll [A#]call her in the morning when you're [F]coming down and falling
Like an [C]old man on the side of the road
When you're [A#]apart, you don't wanna mingle
When you're [F]together you wanna be single
Ever the [C]chase to taste the kiss of bliss that [Dm]made your heart tingle
How much [A#]greener the grass is
Through those [F]rose tinted glasses
And the [C]butterflies that flutter by and leave us on our arses
[Chorus]
[A#]'Cos I want to feel love, but I can't st[F]stand the rejection
I [C]hide behind my jokes as a [Dm]form of protection
I [A#]thought Ii was close, but under[F]under further inspection
It [C]seems I've been running, in the [Dm]wrong direction
There's [A#]fish in the sea for me to [F]make a selection
I'd [C]jump in, if it wasn't for my [Dm]ear infection
[A#]All I really want is just to [F]make a connection
But it [C]seems I've been running in the [Dm]wrong direction, oh no
[Interlude]
[A#] [F] [C] [Dm] [x2]
[Chorus]
[A#]'Cos I want to feel love, but I can't st[F]stand the rejection
I [C]hide behind my jokes as a [Dm]form of protection
I [A#]thought I was close, but under [F]further inspection
It [C]seems I've been running, in the [Dm]wrong direction
It [C]seems I've been running, in the [Dm]wrong direction
It [C]seems I've been running, in the [Dm]wrong direction
It [C]seems I've been running, in the [Dm]wrong direction
It [C]seems I've been running, in the [Dm]wrong direction
[Outro]
[A#] [F] [C] [Dm] [A#] [F] [C] [F]
