C#
Don't put your cover up
G#
You know it's bad for your health
A#m
And, when the going's tough
G#
You're way too hard on yourself
C#
I wish you'd open up
G#
And I'd lend a little to help
A#m                      G#
Before you dive off the deep end

          A#m              F#
Will you hold me like you want me?
         C#                   G#
But you don't give me nothin' else
           A#m
Feel this happening
               F#
But you feel absent
        C#              G#
Can you tell me what it is?

Chorus:
               C#
And she said this
G#                        A#m     F#
"Haven't you ever been in love before?
                   C#                 G#
You heard 'em say, it takes the pain away
            A#m                     F#
And it's a feelin' that you can't ignore
                      C#                G#
But it's more like a knife to me than a high to me
         A#m                     F#
And my heart can't fall apart anymore
                    C#                   G#
If you knew what I knew, you'd be terrified
                         A#m       F#
Haven't you ever been in love before?"

If we don't work it out
That's something I could accept
But I feel you're ruling out
A love that ain't happened yet
And, maybe I'm a fool
But I just can't live with regret
I'd rather dive off the deep end

Well, you hold me like you want me
But you don't give me nothin' else
Feel this happening
But you feel absent
Can you tell me what it is?

Chorus:
And she said this
"Haven't you ever been in love before?
You heard 'em say, it takes the pain away
And it's a feelin' that you can't ignore
But it's more like a knife to me than a high to me
And my heart can't fall apart anymore
If you knew what I knew, you'd be terrified
Haven't you ever been in love before?"

                  A#m     G#
Well, we could be falling
C#      F#
Falling
        A#m                      G#
There's nothing I want more than all that
you've got
           C#     F#
'Cause I'm falling

Chorus:
And she said this
"Haven't you ever been in love before?
You heard 'em say, it takes the pain away
And it's a feelin' that you can't ignore
But it's more like a knife to me than a high to me
And my heart can't fall apart anymore
If you knew what I knew, you'd be terrified
Haven't you ever been in love before?"
