The Wrong Direction Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F][C][G][Am]
[F][C][G][G]

[Verse 1]
When I was a [F]kid the things I did
were hidden [C]under the grid
Young and na[G]ive I never believed
that love could [Am]be so well hid
With re[F]gret I'm willing to bet
and say the [C]older you get
It gets [G]harder to forgive and harder [Am]to forget
It [F]gets under your shirt like a [C]dagger at work
The [G]first cut is the deepest
but the [Am]rest still flipping hurt
You [F]build your heart of plastic
Get [C]cynical and sarcastic
And [G]end up in the corner on your own

[Chorus 1]
'Cause I'd [F]love to feel love
but I can't [C]stand the rejection
I [G]hide behind my jokes as a [Am]form of protection
I [F]thought I was close
but under [C]further inspection
It [G]seems I've been running
in the [Am]wrong direction, oh no

[Intro 2]
[F][C][G][Am]
[F][C][G][G]

[Verse 2]
So what's the [F]point in getting your hopes up
When [C]all you're ever getting is choked up
When you're [G]coked up and can't remember
the [Am]reason why you broke up
You [F]call her in the morning
when you're [C]coming down and falling
Like an [G]old man on the side of the road
Cause when you're a[F]part
you don't want to mingle
When you're to[C]gether you want to be single
Ever the [G]chase to taste the kiss of bliss
that [Am]made your heart tingle
How much [F]greener the grass is
with those [C]rose tinted glasses
But the [G]butterflies they flutter by
and leave us on our asses

[Chorus 2]
'Cause I'd [F]love to feel love
but I can't [C]stand the rejection
I [G]hide behind my jokes as a [Am]form of protection
I [F]thought I was close
but under [C]further inspection
It [G]seems I've been running
in the [Am]wrong direction

[Bridge 1]
[F]There's fish in the sea
for me to [C]make a selection
I'd [G]jump in if it wasn't for my [Am]ear infection
'Cause [F]all I want to do
is try to [C]make a connection
It [G]seems I've been running
in the [Am]wrong direction, oh-oh

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][G][Am]
[F][C][G][G]

[Chorus 3]
I'd [F]love to feel love
but I can't [C]stand the rejection
I [G]hide behind my jokes as a [Am]form of protection
I [F]thought I was close
but under [C]further inspection
It [G]seems I've been running
in the [Am]wrong direction

[Chorus 4]
I'd [F]love to feel love
but I can't [C]stand the rejection
I [G]hide behind my jokes as a [Am]form of protection
And I [F]thought I was close
but under [C]further inspection
It [G]seems I've been running
in the [Am]wrong direction, oh-oh

[Outro 1]
[F][C]
[G]Seems like I'm running
in the [Am]wrong direction, oh-oh
[F][C]
[G]Seems like I'm running
in the [Am]wrong direction, oh-oh
[F][C]
[G]Seems I've been running
in the [Am]wrong direction, oh-oh
[F][C]
[G]Seems I've been running
in the [Am]wrong direction, oh
