 Em   Dx2
[Verse 1]
DWhat are you trying to hide?
You won't Emlet me inside.
The fear's Donly in your mind.
I can Emsee it in your eyes.
[Bridge]
And I try to get Gthrough to you, 
But I don't know Dwhat to do.
You're making it Emhard
To get to your Dheart.

And it seems these days, 
     G*
That everybody wears
A bullet proof Dvest.
[Chorus]
If love is a Emweapon
Shot from a Dheart-shaped gun, 
It only Emhurts you
When you try to Dturn and run.

That you don't need
A bullet proof Dvest?

I wanna Dfeel you feeling me.
Oh, baby, Emlove is all you'll bleed.
[Bridge]
And I try to get Gthrough to you.
I don't know Dwhat to do.
You're making it Emhard
To get to your Dheart.
       E*
And it seems these days, 
     G*
That everybody wears
A bullet proof Dvest.

[Intro]

Em D

[Verse 1]

What are you trying to hide?

You won't let me inside.

The fear's only in your mind.

I can see it in your eyes.

[Bridge]

And I try to get through to you,

But I don't know what to do.

You're making it hard

To get to your heart.

And it seems these days,

That everybody wears

A bullet proof vest.

[Chorus]

If love is a weapon

Shot from a heart-shaped gun,

It only hurts you

When you try to turn and run.

When will you see

That you don't need

A bullet proof vest?

[Interlude]

Em D

[Verse 2]

Please take it off for me.

I won't shoot,

I'll let you breathe

I wanna feel you feeling me.

Oh, baby, love is all you'll bleed.

[Bridge]

And I try to get through to you.

I don't know what to do.

You're making it hard

To get to your heart.

And it seems these days,

That everybody wears

A bullet proof vest.

If love is a weapon,

Shot from a heart-shaped gun,

It only hurts you

When you try to turn and run.
