Em
I'll be criticized for lending out my art
D
I was criticized for letting you break my heart
Em
Why wouldn't I stand for disappointed looks?
D                                G                    D
I'm fully grown but I'm on tenterhooks, ooh with the looks
         G                    D
On tenterhooks, ooh, with the looks the looks the looks


               Em
I wanted to control it
                    G
But love I couldn't hold it
               Em
I wanted to control it
                    G     A
But love I couldn't hold it

 
Em - D (repeat)


Em                                     Em  D
Relationships were something I used to do
                                       D  Em
Convince me they are better for me and you
                         Em  D
We met by a trick of fate
