Intro:  G Em C D (2x) 

Verse 1: 

G                   Em 
I liked the way you wanted me 
       C                    D 
Every night for so long, baby. 
G                   Em 
I liked the way you needed me 
       C                    D 
Every time that things got rocky, yeah. 

Pre-Chorus:
 

Em, C                         G 
      I was believing in you 
G                        Em 
Was I mistaken, do you mean...  
                    C 
Do you mean what you say 
D                                 D 
When you say our love could last forever? 


[Refrão]
 
        
            G                  Em 
Well, I'd rather you be mean 

Than love and lie 
    C 
I'd rather hear the truth 
     D 
And have to say good bye 
     G 
I'd rather take a blow 
    Em 
At least then I would know 
    C                 D             G 
But baby, don't you break my heart slow 


G Em C D 

Verse 2:
 

G                      Em 
I liked the way you'd hold me 
       C                    D 
Every night for so long, baby, yeah 
G                   Em 
I liked the way you'd sing me 
       C                    D 
Every time that things got rocky, yeah. 

Pre-Chorus:
 

Em, C                         G 
      I was believing in you 
G                      Em 
Was I mistaken, do you say...  
                     C 
Do you say what you mean 
D                                 D 
When you say our love could last forever?

          G                  Em 
But I'd rather you be mean 

Than love and lie 
    C 
I'd rather hear the truth

And have to say good bye 
     G 
I'd rather take a blow

Bridge:
 

Em                   C 
You'd run around and lead me on forever 
      D                        D 
While I stay at home, thinking we're still together... 
G!                          D 
I wanted our love to last forever

    C               D             G 
But baby, don't you break my heart slow
