D             G       Bm         A         D     
The cuts they run  so deep as to pierce my heart 
             G       Bm A 
And leave me wounded inside 
D                 G        Bm A 
And the cuts that scar my memory 
       D        G       Bm A 
Is the hardest ones to hide 
G                        Bm 
I've tested the waters a time or two 
        Em                         D9  D 
Now I'd rather keep my feet on the shore 
D             G      Bm      A 
Cause love is just a foolish game 
     G           A           D   G Bm A   D G Bm A 
That I've played somewhere before 
D             G          Bm   A 
I'll let love slip by my fingertips 
D                  G               Bm A  
As my heart stands shattered and frail 
D               G         Bm           A 
When I run the dust will fly from my feet 
D     G            Bm A 
As it covers up my trail 
G                        Bm 
I've tested the waters a time or two 
        Em                         D9  D 
Now I'd rather keep my feet on the shore 
D             G      Bm      A 
Cause love is just a foolish game 
     G           A           D   G Bm A   D G Bm A 
That I've played somewhere before 
G               Bm 
You can run but you can't hide 
     Em                              D 
From shattered dreams that take your heart for a ride 
G                         Bm 
You get yourself together get on the right track 
              Em                       G 
Just then you realize your heart ain't coming back 
         A 
It ain't coming back
