Intro: Dm 

Dm 
Here I am back where I started 
Dm 
Frozen over broken hearted 
A# 
Chasing shoulders cold as ice 
A# 
Shield your love or pay the price 

Dm                        Gm 
It's funny when I put 'em first 
ooh 
Dm                          Gm 
It's over and now we're in reverse 

        A#          Gm 
When I give them my heart 
Dm 
  And let 'em in 
      C 
thats when it ends 
   A#          Gm 
I show them my scars 
Dm                C 
  They open them over again 
       A#             F 
Every time I gave my love 
     Dm               C 
Love left me there to linger 
        A#           Gm 
When I give them my heart 
Dm 
  Thats when it ends 
     C                    Dm 
And that's why I'm single 
A#                     Dm 
  That's why I'm single 
A# 
  That's why I'm single 

Dm 
Played the games those days are over 
Dm 
Things have changed and now i'm older 
A# 
Understand that love ain't easy  
A# 
Lots to give but don't receive it 

Dm                        Gm 
It's funny when I put 'em first 
ooh 
Dm                          Gm 
It's over and now we're in reverse 

        A#          Gm 
When I give them my heart 
Dm 
  And let 'em in 
      C 
thats when it ends 
   A#          Gm 
I show them my scars 
Dm                C 
  They open them over again 
       A#             F 
Every time I gave my love 
     Dm               C 
Love left me there to linger 
        A#           Gm 
When I give them my heart 
Dm 
  Thats when it ends 
     C                    Dm 
And that's why I'm single 
A#                     Dm 
  That's why I'm single 
A# 
  That's why I'm single
