When I was a kid the things i did were hidden under the grid
            C                                     Dm
Young and naive, i never believed that love could be so well hid

It gets harder to forgive and harder to forget

It gets under your shirt like a dagger at work

The first cut is the deepest but the rest still flippin' hurt
    Bb                                   F
You build your heart of plastic, you're cynical and sarcastic
    C
and end up in the corner on your own

          Bb                              F
'Cos I'd love to feel love, but I can't stand the rejection

I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection

So what's the point in getting your hopes up, when all you're ever getting is 

choked up?

When you're choked up, and can't remember the reason why you broke up

When you're apart, you don't wanna mingle
               F                            
When you're together you wanna be single
          C                                    Dm
Ever the chase to taste the kiss of bliss that made your heart tingle
           Bb
How much greener the grass is
               F
Through those rose tinted glasses
         C(ring)
And the butterflies that flutter by and leave us on our asses

I'd jump in, if it wasn't for my ear infection

'Cos all I wanna do was try to make a connection
        C                              Dm
