Lyrics

[Intro]
| A   | F#m | C#m | -   |
| C   | D   | A   | F#m |
| C#m | -   | C   | D   |

[Verse 1]
A      F#m              E
I want love, but it's impossible
C#m           F#m         D
   A man like me, so irresponsible
C#                 F#m
  A man like me is dead in places
B7sus4         B7     Bm7 Bm7/E E
      Other men  feel liberated

[Verse 2]
    A       F#m        E
And I can't love, shot full of holes
C#m           F#m        D
   Don't feel nothing, I just feel cold
C#                    F#m
  Don't feel nothing, just old scars
B7sus4           B7  Bm7      Bm7/E E
      Toughening up around my heart

[Chorus]
    A
But I want love,
G/A
   just a diffe_rent kind
D/A                 Dm/A
I  want love, won't break me down
      A/C#               F#/C#
Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
         Bm
I want a love that don't mean a thing
           E                   C   D
That's the love I want, I want love

[Verse 3]
A      F#m     E
I want love on my own terms
C#m       F#m             D
   After eve_rything I've ever learned
C#            F#m
  Me, I carry too much baggage
B7sus4             B7   Bm7     Bm7/E  E
      Oh man, I've seen so much traffic

[Chorus]
    A           G/A
But I want love,   just a different kind
D/A                 Dm/A
I  want love, won't break me down
      A/C#               F#/C#
Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
         Bm
I want a love that don't mean a thing
           E                   C   D Em
That's the love I want, I want love

[Bridge]
F                Em
 So bring it on, I've been bruised
G                          C
 Don't give me love that's clean and smooth
Cm                  A#
  I'm ready for the rougher stuff
F/A                 D               E
   No sweet romance, I've had enough

Won't brick me up, won't fence me in
         Bm
I want a love that don't mean a thing
           E                       C
That's the love I want, I want love
