[Rhy. Fig 1]

[Rhy. Fig 2] (2x)
I been up, down, and all around, tell you what I'm feelin' 
I been hurt and I've found, been pushed around, it's how I got this feelin' 

[Rhy. Fig 3]
I never thought I could hurt so good, no no 
I never thought I could lose myself, but I just can't hide it 
They never let you down easy, now listen 

[Rhy. Fig 4] 
Sometimes love is like a slap in the face, you been burned and still 
It's the same old mistake 
If you want my opinion, I'll give it to you straight 
Love is like a slap in the face 
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 1]
Singin' na na na na na na na na na
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 2]
Na na na na na na na na na 

[Rhy. Fig 2] (2x)
Love's got a hold on me, I can't believe it, but it's plain to see 
[Riff 1]
Turns me upside down and inside out 
Don't know why it never fails to make you scream and shout 

[Rhy. Fig 3]
I never knew I could fool myself, no no, I never thought I could hurt so good 
But I just can't hide it, guess I'm feelin' no pain, now listen 

[Rhy. Fig 4] 
Sometimes love is like a slap in the face, you been burned and still 
It's the same old mistake 
If you want my opinion, I'll give it to you straight 
Love is like a slap in the face 
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 1]
Singin' na na na na na na na na na
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 3]
Na na na na na na na na na 

[Solo over Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 3 (2x)]

[Rhy. Fig 3 w/ Riff 3]
I never knew I could hurt so good, no no, I never thought I'd say nonono, no no 
But I'm here babe, I got a secret inside 

[Rhy. Fig 4]
Sometimes love is like a ball and chain 
Keeps you up at night, why is it always the same 
If you wanna know the truth, it's something I can't explain 
Yeah love is like a ball and chain 
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 4] (2x)
Yeah na na na na, na na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na na 
[Rhy. Fig 5 w/ End 3]
