| A   F#m | C#m     | C   D   | x2
 
 
[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
Bsus      B        Bm7  E
    Other men feel liberated
 
A       F#m        E
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
Bsus           B   Bm7      E
    Toughening up around my heart
 
 
[Chorus]
    A           G/A
But I want love, just a different kind
D/A                G7
I want love, won't break me down
      A                  F#
Won't break me up, won't fence me in
         Bm
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
           E7sus        E      C    D
That's the love I want, I want love
 
 
[Verse 2]
A      F#m     E
I want love on my own terms
C#m      F#m             D
   After everything I've ever learned
C#             F#m
   Me, I carry too much baggage
Bsus             B    Bm7     E
    Oh man, I've seen so much traffic
 
 
[Chorus]
    A           G/A
But I want love, just a different kind
D/A                G7
I want love, won't break me down
      A                  F#
Won't break me up, won't fence me in
         Bm
I want a love, that don't mean a thing
           E7sus        E      C    D  C/E
That's the love I want, I want love
 
 
[Bridge]
F                  C/E
   So bring it on, I've been bruised
G                            C
   Don't give me love that's clean and smooth
Cm                   Bb
   I'm ready for the rougher stuff
F/A                 D/F#          E7/G#
   No sweet romance,    I've had enough

The most accurate version of this song by a mile,one suggestion on the verse between the Bm7 and E i would add Esus4 022200 as a decent step down,well done,enjoyed playing.

Very nice thank you! One small thing in the chorus sounds better to replace G7 by Dm/G
