GI never really had a broken heart
GI always played it kinda close to my chest
GLove for me's just been a walk in the park
GIt doesn't really matter
GI never really mattered [Riff]
EmI never really had a broken heart
EmSuch a shock to me
EmWhat looks to me like people going through the motions
EmBut when it's over their hearts are broken and
[Chorus]
GI - - I - - I - - I'm fine on the Cshelf
CShe really loved him, but I couldn't see it though
CHe really loved her, but I don't believe it oh no

GI never really had a broken heart
GYou don't believe me, just look at my chest
GThe way some people like to run and hide [Riff]
GI never really, really, I never really
EmI never really had a broken heart
EmI've never really ever been undone
EmIt's just playing house
EmTwo can do it, you can do it too

[Intro]

G Em

[Verse 1]

I never really had a broken heart

I always played it kinda close to my chest

Love for me's just been a walk in the park

It doesn't really matter

I never really mattered [Riff]

I never really had a broken heart

Such a shock to me

What looks to me like people going through the motions

But when it's over their hearts are broken and

[Chorus]

G C

I - - I - - I - - I'm fine on the shelf

She really loved him, but I couldn't see it though

He really loved her, but I don't believe it oh no

G C

I - - I - - I - - I'm fine on the shelf

She really loved him, but I couldn't see it though

He really loved her, but I don't believe it oh no

[Bridge]

[bass and vocal breakdown]

Freedom from love, freedom from the heartache

Freedom from love, freedom from the heartache [Riff]

Freedom from love, freedom from the heartache

[Verse 2]

I never really had a broken heart

You don't believe me, just look at my chest

The way some people like to run and hide [Riff]

I never really, really, I never really

I never really had a broken heart

I've never really ever been undone

It's just playing house

Two can do it, you can do it too

[Chorus]

G C

I - - I - - I - - I'm fine on the shelf

She really loved him, but I couldn't see it though

He really loved her, but I don't believe it oh no

G C

I - - I - - I - - I'm fine on the shelf

She really loved him, but I couldn't see it though

He really loved her, but I don't believe it oh no

Solo around G Em (2:06 - 2:26)

[Chorus]

G C

I - - I - - I - - I'm fine on the shelf

She really loved him, but I couldn't see it though

He really loved her, but I don't believe it oh no

Freedom from love, freedom from the heartache

Riff, moving from G to Em
