The Wrong Direction by Passenger
The Wrong Direction
Capo - Fifth Fret
Intro - F C G Am
F C
When i was a kid the things i did were hidden under the grid
G Am
Young and naive, i never believed that love could be so well hid
F C
With regret I'm willing to bet they say 'the older you get
G Am
It gets harder to forgive and harder to forget
F C
It gets under your shirt like a dagger at work
G Am
The first cut is the deepest but the rest still flippin' hurt
F C
You build your heart of plastic, you're cynical and sarcastic
G
and you end up in the corner on your own
F C
'Cos I'd love to feel love, but i can't stand the rejection
G Am
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
F C
I thought i was close, but under further inspection
G Am
It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction, oh no
Filler - F C G Am x2
F
What's the point in getting your hopes up, when all you're ever getting is
C
choked up?
G Am
When you're coked up, and can't remember the reason why you broke up
F C
You'll call her in the morning when you're coming down and falling
G
Like an old man on the side of the road
F
When you're apart, you don't wanna mingle
C
When you're together you wanna be single
G Am
Ever the chase to taste the kiss of bliss that made your heart tingle
F
How much greener the grass is
C
Through those rose tinted glasses
G
And the butterflies that flutter by and leave us on our arses
F C
'Cos I want to feel love, but i can't stand the rejection
G Am
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
F C
I thought i was close, but under further inspection
G Am
It seems I've been running, in the wrong direction
F C
There's fish in the sea for me to make a selection
G Am
I'd jump in, if it wasn't for my ear infection
F C
All I really want is just to make a connection
G Am
But it seems I've been running in the wrong direction, oh no
Filler - F C G Am x2
F C
What is love? Baby don't hurt me
Am
Don't hurt me
G
No more
F C
What is love? Baby don't hurt me
Am
Don't hurt me
G
No more
F C
What is love? Baby don't hurt me
Am
Don't hurt me
G
No more

like an old man in the side of the road
cause when your apart you don't a-mingle
when you're together you want to be single
ever the chase, the taste, the kiss, the bliss that made your heart tingle
how much greener the grass is, with your rose tinted glasses
but the butterflies flutter by and leave us on our asses

The rest is easy cake. I do not think it is necessary to do the rest at this time. If
you want more please comment or email me. If you master these first two iterations of
the chord progression, the third iteration is a simple strum plucking the bass note of
each chord as you go through.

when you're together you want to be single
ever the chase, the taste, the kiss, the bliss that made your heart tingle
how much greener the grass is, with your rose tinted glasses
but the butterflies flutter by and leave us on our asses
