Cruel to be Kind
Nick Lowe
[Intro]
C-Em-F-G (2x)
[Verse]
C Em
Oh, I can't stand another heart-ache
F G
Though you say you're my friend, I'm at my wits end
C Em F Em
You say your love is bona fide, but that don't coincide
F Em F G
With the things that you do, when I ask you, to be nice - you say
[Chorus]
F G Am
You gotta be cruel to be kind in the right measure
F G Em Am
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
F G Em Am
Cruel to be kind, means that I love you
G C-Em-F-G
Ba-by, you gotta be cruel to be kind
Well I do my best to understand you (it)
But you still mystify, and I wanna know why
I pick myself up, off the ground
To have you knock me back down, again and again
When I ask you to explain - you say
[CHORUS] - RIDE
C-A F-G-Em-Am
[Verse 2]
Well I do my best ...
[Chorus]
(3x) fade
