D                   G               D                  A
I liked the way you wanted me every night for so long, baby
D                     G             Bm                    A
I liked the way you needed me every time when things got rocky

G   D  A   A
(Ah ah ah) I was believing in you
G   D  A   
(Ah ah ah) Was I mistaken?
       Bm                       D
Do you say... do you say what you mean?
G                          A
I want our love to last forever

        D                  Bm
But I'd rather you be mean than love and lie
      G                       A
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye
       D                    Bm
I'd rather take a blow, at least then I would know
        G             A              D
But, baby, don't you break my heart slow

D                   G             D                  A
I liked the way you held me every night for so long, baby
D                     G                  Bm                                 A
And I liked the way you'd say my name in middle of the night while you were sleeping
G   D  A   A
(Ah ah ah) I was believing in you
G   D  A   A
(Ah ah ah) Was I mistaken?
       Bm                       D
Do you mean... do you mean what you say
G                          A
When you say our love could last forever?

         D                  Bm
I'd rather you be mean than love and lie (You'd be mean... than lie)
      G                       A
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye (Hear the truth... goodbye)
       D                   Bm
I'd rather take a blow, at least then I would know (A blow...)
        G            A              D
But, baby, don't you break my heart slow
No...

Bm                    D
You'd run around and lead me on forever
     Bm                        D
All  while I waited home still thinkin' we're together
G                            A          D  G    D   G
I wanted our love to last forever


         D                  Bm
I'd rather you be mean than love and lie (You'd be mean... than lie)
      G                       A
I'd rather hear the truth and have to say goodbye (Hear the truth... goodbye)
       D                   Bm
I'd rather take a blow, at least then I would know (A blow...)
        G            A              D
But, baby, don't you break my heart slow
  G            A              D
Baby, don't you break my heart slow
