Verse

You can talk to me about powder kegs,

From the outside in

But don't tell me about true love
D#m F#m F#m

C# C#
You need to pay the cost
G# G#
You need to feel the loss
F#m C#
'Cause love is expensive and free
F#m C# C#m A#m A A
Love is expensive and free

It's hard to concentrate, I must confess

Don't you tell me about heartbreak

Don't you worry about my baby

Much less remove her from my mind

I didn't talk to you about true love
D#m F#m F#m
I didn't think you'd understand

We need to pay the cost
G# G#
We need to feel the loss
