Chords with lyrics
"Tough Love" (Joel Plaskett)
From "Scrappy Happiness"(2012)
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...
E5E5
You’re the game and I’ll keep playing
A5A5 B5B5
Working in your coal mine,working on your chain gang
E5E5
Oh my my, you’re so cool
A5A5 B5B5
Baby be mine or be somebody’s fool
E5E5
Cause you’re not fooling me, uh uh
A5A5 B5B5
I’ve been schooling for your love
Prechorus 1:
E5E5
Sink to the bottom or rise to the top
E5E5 C# minorC#m A5A5 B5B5
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em, don’t you ever stop
E5E5
Cutting me to pieces, apples and oranges
E5E5 C# minorC#m A5A5 E5E5
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:
E5E5
Tough love, tough love, tough love
A5A5 B5B5 E5E5
Is there any other love?
Bridge:
A5A5
Out of the frying pan into the fire
E5E5 B5B5
We can’t go designing the things we desire
A5A5
A augmentedA fish out of water I’m battered and bruised
E5E5 B5B5
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.
