"Tough Love" (Joel Plaskett)
From "Scrappy Happiness"(2012)
Open E Tuning (EBEG#BE)
Chords are simple; the timing of the strums are the key to the song.
N.C
You’re so cool, oh my my...
I like you and I know why...
E5
You’re the game and I’ll keep playing
A5 B5
Working in your coal mine,working on your chain gang
E5
Oh my my, you’re so cool
A5 B5
Baby be mine or be somebody’s fool
E5
Cause you’re not fooling me, uh uh
A5 B5
I’ve been schooling for your love
Prechorus 1:
E5
Sink to the bottom or rise to the top
E5 C#m A5 B5
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em, don’t you ever stop
E5
Cutting me to pieces, apples and oranges
E5 C#m A5 E5
Slap me in the face, tell me that I’m gorgeous
Oh I’m hooked, you’re the one
My goose is cooked, turn me over I’m done
You’re the reason I keep rocking
Come on in, baby, don’t bother knocking
Prechorus 2:
Under the boardwalk, over the moon
Some cats are born with a silver spoon
You’re like a ghost, I hope that you haunt me
Freak me out, baby, tell me that you want me!
Chorus:
E5
Tough love, tough love, tough love
A5 B5 E5
Is there any other love?
Bridge:
A5
Out of the frying pan into the fire
E5 B5
We can’t go designing the things we desire
A5
A fish out of water I’m battered and bruised
E5 B5
Hook me up, baby, it’s good to be used
I’m outta shape, oh so it goes
But I bet that I could still touch your toes
I’ll cop a feel if we’re copacetic
While you wax your legs, I’ll wax poetic
Prechorus 2 x1, then chorus x4.
