G 
Don't put your cover up 
D 
You know it's bad for your health 
Em 
And when the going's tough 
D 
You're way too hard on yourself 
G 
I wish you'd open up 
D 
And I'd lend a little to help 
Em                      D 
Before you dive off the deep end 
         Em               C 
Will you hold me like you want me? 
        G                      D 
But you don't give me nothin' else 
            Em 
Feel this happening 
                C 
But you'll feel absent 
        G               D 
Can you tell me what it is? 
             G 
And she said this 
D                         Em      C 
"Haven't you ever been in love before? 
                   G                   D 
You heard 'em say, it takes the pain away 
           Em                        C 
And it's a feeling that you can't ignore 
                      G                 D 
But it's more like a knife to me than a high to me 
       Em                        C 
And my heart can't fall apart anymore 
                   G                      D 
If you knew what I knew, you'd be terrified 
                         Em         C 
Haven't you ever been in love before?" 
G 
If we don't work it out 
D 
That's something I could accept 
Em 
But I feel you're ruling out 
D 
A love that ain't happened yet 
G 
And maybe I'm a fool 
D 
But I just can't live with regret 
Em                      D 
I'd rather dive off the deep end 
         Em               C 
Will you hold me like you want me? 
        G                      D 
But you don't give me nothin' else 
            Em 
Feel this happening 
                C 
But you'll feel absent 
        G               D 
Can you tell me what it is? 
             G 
And she said this 
D                         Em      C 
"Haven't you ever been in love before?

                         Em         C 
Haven't you ever been in love before?" 
                  Em  D 
Well, we could be falling 
G   C 
Falling 
        Em                       D 
There's nothing I want more than all that you got 
           G     C 
'Cause I'm falling 
             G 
And she said this 
D                         Em      C 
"Haven't you ever been in love before? 
                   G                   D
