[Intro]
F C G Am
F C G G
[Verse 1]
When I was a Fkid the things I did were hidden Cunder the grid
Young and naGive, I never believed that love could Ambe so well hid
With reFgret I'm willing to bet they say the Colder you get
It gets Gharder to forgive and harder Amto forget
It Fgets under your shirt like a Cdagger at work
The Gfirst cut is the deepest but the Amrest still flippin' hurt
You Fbuild your heart of plastic, you're Ccynical and sarcastic
And Gend up in the corner on your own
[Chorus]
'Cause I'd Flove to feel love, but I can't Cstand the rejection
I Ghide behind my jokes as a Amform of protection
I Fthought I was close, but under Cfurther inspection
It Gseems I've been running, in the Amwrong direction, oh no
[Interlude]
F C G Am
F C G G
[Verse 2]
So what's the Fpoint in getting your hopes up, when Call you're ever getting is choked up?
When you're Gcoked up, and can't remember the Amreason why you broke up
You Fcall her in the morning when you're Ccoming down and falling
Like an Gold man on the side of the road
'Cause when you're aFpart, you don't wanna mingle
When you're toCgether you wanna be single
Ever the Gchase to taste the kiss of bliss that Ammade your heart tingle
How much Fgreener the grass is
With those Crose tinted glasses
But the Gbutterflies they flutter by and leave us on our arses
[Chorus]
'Cause I'd Flove to feel love, but I can't Cstand the rejection
I Ghide behind my jokes as a Amform of protection
I Fthought I was close, but under Cfurther inspection
It Gseems I've been running, in the Amwrong direction
There's Ffish in the sea for me to Cmake a selection
I'd Gjump in if it wasn't for my Amear infection
'Cause Fall I wanna do is try to Cmake a connection
But it Gseems I've been running in the Amwrong direction, oh oh
[Interlude]
F C G Am
F C G G
[Chorus]
Oh oh, I'd Flove to feel love, but I can't Cstand the rejection
I Ghide behind my jokes as a Amform of protection
I Fthought I was close, but under Cfurther inspection
It Gseems I've been running, in the Amwrong direction
I'd Flove to feel love, but I can't Cstand the rejection
I Ghide behind my jokes as a Amform of protection
And I Fthought I was close, but under Cfurther inspection
It Gseems I've been running, in the Amwrong direction, oh oFhC  
It Gseems like I'm running, in the Amwrong direction, oh oFhC  
It Gseems like I'm running, in the Amwrong direction, ohF  C  
Well, it Gseems I've been running, in the Amwrong direction, oh FnoC  
(one strum)
It Gseems I've been running, in the Amwrong direction, oh
