Cruel To Be Kind

C  Em  F  G   (2x)


[Verse 1]
    C                     Em
Oh, I can't stand another heart-ache
           F                     
Though you say you're my friend, 
Dm7       G
I'm at my wits end
C                    Em          
You say your love is bona fide, 
              F   Em
but that don't coincide
Dm                       F       
With the things that you do, when
   Em             F          G
 I ask you, to be nice - you say


[Chorus]
             F           G    Em 
You gotta be cruel to be kind in 
          Am
the right measure
F           G            Em      
Cruel to be kind, it's a very 
  Am
good sign
F           G     Em           
Cruel to be kind, means that I love 
Am
you
G                                 
Ba-by, you gotta be cruel to be 
  C  Em  F  G
kind

     C                     Em
Well I do my best to understand you 
(it)
        F                  Dm7    
But you still mystify, and I wanna
   G
 know why
C                 Em
I pick myself up, off the ground
            F        Em         
To have you knock me back down, 
Dm         F
again and again
       Em         F             G
When I ask you to explain - you say


[Chorus]
             F           G    Em 
You gotta be cruel to be kind in 
          Am
the right measure
F           G            Em      
Cruel to be kind, it's a very 
  Am
good sign
F           G     Em           
Cruel to be kind, means that I love 
Am
you
G                                 
Ba-by, you gotta be cruel to be 
  C    Em
kind
