True Love Is Not Nice by Jonathan Richman
True Love Is Not Nice
Capo:3rd fret
intro: C, Dm, Em, Dm x2
(verse)
C Dm Em Dm
well it hurts from the bottom and it hurts down to your soul
C Dm Em Dm
that's because true love is not nice
C Dm Em Dm
and it brings up hurt from when you were 5 years old
C Dm Em Dm
that's because true love is not nice
(chorus)
G
oh, pain pain pain
ain't that just love's name
Em
love can bring up fear from way down low
G
and now we emphasize, true love is just not civilized
true love is not nice, no no
(verse chords)
well you've been hurt before but now you're hurting double
that's 'cause true love is not nice
and if it's real love then boys there's going to be trouble
that's because true love is not nice
(chorus chords)
and if you're insecure, love will learn for sure
and once that happens something's got to go
the imposter allows you arrest, the real one demands it's test
and that's because true love is not nice, no no
(verse chords)
well you've been hurt before but now you're hurting so
true love is not nice
and if it's real love then that hurt won't go
true love is not nice
(chorus chords)
oh, pain pain pain. Rain rain rain
that's why you felt love's arrow and said aww
well you knew from your first flirt that love was here to hurt
and that's because true love is not nice, no no
