C#         C#maj7   C#7      F#             D#m7
All your expectations of my love are impossible
            G#7
Surely you know,
 C#               C#maj7
That I'm not easy to hold
C#7        F#        D#m7                 G#7
It's so sad how incapable of learning to grow I am

My heart speaks in puzzle and codes
I've been trying my whole life to solve
God only knows how I've cried
I can't take another defeat
A next time would be the ending of me
Now that I see

Chorus:
      C#                  C#maj7             C#7       F#
That love (Ooh-ooh) is a game (Ooh-ooh) for fools to play (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
             D#m7
And I ain't fooling (Fooling), what a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
    G#7
To self-inflict that pain, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah
  C#                 C#maj7             C#7       F#
Love (Ooh-ooh) is a game (Ooh-ooh) for fools to play (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
             D#m7
And I ain't fooling (Fooling), what a cruel thing (Cruel thing)
    G#7
To self-inflict that pain

How unbelievable (Unbelievable)
Of me to fall for the lies that I tell (Lies I tell)
The dream that I sell (Dream I sell)
When heartache, it's inevitable (It's inevitable)
But I'm no good at doing it well
Not that I care (I don't care)
Why should anything about it be fair?

Chorus

              Fm            C#7      F#
No amount of love, can keep me satisfied
(Satisfied, satisfied)
             Fm
I can't keep up (Can't keep up, can't keep up)
                     C#7  F#
When I keep changing my mind
(Change my mind, change my mind)
               Fm                       D#         A#
The feelings flood me to the heights of no compromise

Chorus

       D#
I can love me
      D#maj7          D#7
I can love my whole again
           C7
I love me now
      Fm7
I can love everything
      Fm7
I'm a fool for that
A#7
You know I, you know I'm gonna do it
          D#
Oh-oh, oh-oh
        D#maj7  D#7
I'd do it all again
        C7
Like I did it
             Fm7
'Cause I'm addicted, I'm addicted
                          D#
You know I'm gonna do it again
