     D5 
I've never been the kind 
   B5 
to heed to strong advice 
      G5                           A5 
never willing to concede or fall apart 
     D5 
I've learned to speak my mind 
   B5 
no matter what the price 
    G5                  A5 
but love has left this heart 
 
Chorus: 
             D5 
A little bit battered and a little bit bruised 
             B5 
a little bit cheated and a little bit used 
            G5                             A5 
a little mistreated and a little confused on love 
           D5 
a little too soon for the hurt to mend 
           B5 
a little too late to try it again 
           G5 
a little too weak to bear this ache 
             A5     A5   D5 
a little too strong -  to break. 
D5  A5  D5 
 
In the shadows of my mind 
In the darkness of my soul 
regret has come to play its sorry part 
Well
