Verse: 
C          G 
Ain't love funny? 
Am         F 
Ain't love strange? 
C     G         Am        F 
I say love is a dangerous game 
C        G 
Shows no mercy 
Am        F 
It has no rules 
C            G            Am        F 
It's all the same for the kings and fools 


Chorus: 
        C    G         Am        F 
And I'm hell bent on a heartache 
C             G 
I should know better 
      Am      F 
But I guess I don't 
C         G            Am       F 
I keep on learning the hard way 
      C            G 
Every time I turn around 
           Am       F 
I make the same mistake 
         C     G         Am        F 
Cause I'm hell bent on a heartache 
C    G         F         F 
Hell bent on a heartache 


Verse: 
C         G      
Seems I'm always  
Am       F 
getting burned 
C        G              Am        F 
Just you wait until the table is turned 
C        G 
Love's a gamble 
Am       F 
Love's a curse 
C        G            Am       F 
Love's a bitch but it could be worse 



        C    G         Am        F 
And I'm hell bent on a heartache 
C             G 
I should know better 
      Am      F 
But I guess I don't 
C         G            Am       F 
I keep on learning the hard way 
      C            G 
Every time I turn around 
           Am       F 
I make the same mistake 
         C     G         Am        F 
Cause I'm hell bent on a heartache 
C    G         F         F

Sometimes that's just not enough 

        C    G         Am        F 
And I'm hell bent on a heartache 
C             G
