[Verse 1]
F C
When I was a kid the things I did were hidden under the grid
G Am
Young and naive, I never believed that love could be so well hid
F C
With regret I'm willing to bet they say the older you get
G Am
It gets harder to forgive and harder to forget
F C
It gets under your shirt like a dagger at work
G Am
The first cut is the deepest but the rest still flippin' hurt
F C
You build your heart of plastic, you're cynical and sarcastic
G
And you end up in the corner on your own
[Chorus]
F C
'Cos I'd love to feel love, but I can't stand the rejection
G Am
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
F C
I thought I was close, but under further inspection
G Am
It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction, oh no
[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
F C
What's the point in getting your hopes up, when all you're ever getting is choked up?
G Am
When you're coked up, and can't remember the reason why you broke up
F C
You'll call her in the morning when you're coming down and falling
G
Like an old man on the side of the road
F
Cause when you're apart, you don't wanna mingle
C
When you're together you wanna be single
G Am
Ever the chase to taste the kiss of bliss that made your heart tingle
F
How much greener the grass is
C
Through those rose tinted glasses
G
But the butterflies they flutter by and leave us on our arses
[Chorus]
F C
'Cos I want to feel love, but I can't stand the rejection
G Am
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
F C
I thought Ii was close, but under further inspection
G Am
It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction
F C
There's fish in the sea for me to make a selection
G Am
I'd jump in, if it wasn't for my ear infection
F C
Cause all I really want is try to make a connection
G Am
But it seems I've been running in the wrong direction, oh no
[Interlude]
F C G Am
F C G G
[Chorus]
F C
oh oh, I'd love to feel love, but I can't stand the rejection
G Am
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
F C
I thought I was close, but under further inspection
G Am
It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction
F C
I'd love to feel love, but I can't stand the rejection
G Am
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
F C
and I thought I was close, but under further inspection
G Am F C
It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction, oh no
G Am F C
It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction
G Am F C
It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction
G Am F C
It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction
(one strum)
G Am
It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction
