A# F When I was a kid the things I did were hidden under the grid C Dm Young and naive, I never believed that love could be so well hid A# F With regret I'm willing to bet they say the older you get C Dm It gets harder to forgive and harder to forget A# F It gets under your shirt like a dagger at work C Dm The first cut is the deepest but the rest still flippin' hurt A# F You build your heart of plastic, you're cynical and sarcastic C And you end up in the corner on your own Chorus: A# F 'Cos I'd love to feel love, but I can't stand the rejection C Dm I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection A# F I thought I was close, but under further inspection C Dm It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction, oh no So what's the point in getting your hopes up When all you're ever getting is choked up When your coked up And can't remember the reason why you broke up You call her in the morning when you're coming down and falling Like an old man on the side of the road Cause when you're apart you don't want to mingle When you're together you want to be single Ever the chase to taste the kiss of bliss That made your heart tingle How much greener the grass is With those rose tinted glasses But the butterflies they flutter by and leave us on our asses Chorus: Cause I'd love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection I thought I was close but under further inspection It seems I've been running in the wrong direction There's fish in the sea for me to make a selection I'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infection Cause all I want to do is try to make a connection It seems I've been running in the wrong direction - x2 C Dm A# F It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction C Dm A# F It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction C Dm A# F It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction C Dm It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  C  Dm  F  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
