G
If we can't get along we oughta be apart
         Dm                                        G
And I'm wondering where'd you get that cold, cold heart
Set me free - sign my release
     Dm                                G
I'm tired of being the villain of the piece

Chorus:
                      C
You been givin' me a bad time
                  G
Tell me what'd I do
How come I always get a hard time
 F                      G
Honey when it comes to you
         C                          G
Sayin' things that you didn't have to
How come I always get a hard time
F                       G
Honey when it comes to you

You only get one life - this I know
I wanna get my licks in now before I go
The fire of love is dead and cold
I gotta satisfy the hunger in my soul

Chorus

If we can't get along we oughta be apart
And I'm wondering where'd you get that cold, cold heart
Set me free - sign my release
I'm tired of being the villain of the peace

Chorus

G
Sayin' things that you didn't have to
How come I always get a hard time
F                      G
Honey when it comes to you
G
Sayin' things that you didn't have to
How come I always get a hard time
F                      G
Honey when it comes to you
