The Wrong Direction chords by Passenger

Capo - Fifth Fret

Intro - Am

C
When i was a kid the things i did were hidden under the grid
Am
Young and naive, i never believed that love could be so well hid
C
With regret I'm willing to bet they say 'the older you get
Am
It gets harder to forgive and harder to forget
C
It gets under your shirt like a dagger at work
Am
The first cut is the deepest but the rest still flippin' hurt
  C
You build your heart of plastic, you're cynical and sarcastic
    G
and you end up in the corner on your own

C
'Cos I'd love to feel love, but i can't stand the rejection
 Am
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
 C
I thought i was close, but under further inspection
  Am
It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction, oh no

Filler - Am x2
      F
What's the point in getting your hopes up, when all you're ever getting is
C
choked up?
      Am
When you're coked up, and can't remember the reason why you broke up
    C
You'll call her in the morning when you're coming down and falling
    G
Like an old man on the side of the road
      F
When you're apart, you don't wanna mingle
      C
When you're together you wanna be single
     Am
Ever the chase to taste the kiss of bliss that made your heart tingle
     F
How much greener the grass is
       C
Through those rose tinted glasses
    G
And the butterflies that flutter by and leave us on our arses

C
'Cos I want to feel love, but i can't stand the rejection
 Am
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
 C
I thought i was close, but under further inspection
  Am
It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction
    C
There's fish in the sea for me to make a selection
  Am
I'd jump in, if it wasn't for my ear infection
C
All I really want is just to make a connection
    Am
But it seems I've been running in the wrong direction, oh no

Filler - Am x2

    C
What is love? Baby don't hurt me
   Am
Don't hurt me
  G

    C
What is love? Baby don't hurt me
   Am
Don't hurt me
  G
No more
    C
What is love? Baby don't hurt me
   Am
Don't hurt me
  G
No more
