Tough Love

 "Tough Love" (Joel Plaskett)
 From "Scrappy Happiness"(2012)

 Open E Tuning (EBEG#BE) 

 Chords are simple; the timing of the strums are the key to the song.

 N.C
 You’re so cool, oh my my...

 I like you and I know why...
 E5 
 You’re the game and I’ll keep playing
                           A5              B5
 Working in your coal mine,working on your chain gang

 E5     
 Oh my my, you’re so cool
                    A5             B5
 Baby be mine or be somebody’s fool 
       E5
 Cause you’re not fooling me, uh uh
                     A5            B5
 I’ve been schooling for your love

 Prechorus 1:

    E5
    Sink to the bottom or rise to the top
    E5               C#m      A5                 B5
    Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em, don’t you ever stop
    E5      
    Cutting me to pieces, apples and oranges
    E5             C#m    A5                     E5
    Slap me in the face, tell me that I’m gorgeous

 Oh I’m hooked, you’re the one
 My goose is cooked, turn me over I’m done
 You’re the reason I keep rocking
 Come on in, baby, don’t bother knocking
   
   Prechorus 2:

   Under the boardwalk, over the moon
   Some cats are born with a silver spoon
   You’re like a ghost, I hope that you haunt me
   Freak me out, baby, tell me that you want me!

 Chorus:

     E5
     Tough love, tough love, tough love
              A5         B5   E5
     Is there any other love?

     Bridge:

          A5
          Out of the frying pan into the fire 
                                    E5        B5
          We can’t go designing the things we desire
            A5
          A fish out of water I’m battered and bruised
                                 E5         B5
          Hook me up, baby, it’s good to be used

 I’m outta shape, oh so it goes
 But I bet that I could still touch your toes
 I’ll cop a feel if we’re copacetic
 While you wax your legs, I’ll wax poetic
    
    Prechorus 2 x1, then chorus x4.
