VERSE 1:
I tell you how I feel, but you don't care
I say tell me the truth, but you don't dare
You say love is a hell you cannot bear
And I say gimme mine back and go there - for all I care

CHORUS:

[C] I got my feet on the [Bb7] ground and I don't go to [A7] sleep to dream

[C] You got your head [Bb7] in the clouds and you're not at [A7] all what you seem

[C] This mind, this body, and this [Bb7] voice cannot be stiffled [A7] by your deviant ways

[C] So don't forget what I told [Bb7] you, don't come around, I got my [A7] own hell to raise 

VERSE2:

I have never been so insulted in all my life
I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride
First you run like a fool just to be by my side
And now you run like a fool, but you just run to hide, I can't abide

TO CHORUS

BRIDGE:

[Eb] Don't make it a big [D] deal, don't be so [Eb] sensitive 
[Eb] We're not playing a game [D] anymore; you don't have to be so defensive [Ab]

VERSE 3:

Don't you plead me your case, don't bother to explain
Don't even show me your face, 'cuz it's a crying shame
Just go back to the rock from under which you came
Take the sorrow you gave and all the stakes you claim
And don't forget the blame

TO CHORUS
