G                                      F                       C
Sometimes I think what's the point of loving anyone... In the end, 
G                                       F                      D
each time you finish a fight its just the start of a new one again 

chorus:
      C                       D  
You put all the pain to the back of your mind 
Em                       A  
Move up close, pray it works out fine 
C                         D                G  C9  G  C9  G  C9  F  C
That's when you know the heart is a bad design 


G                              F                  C
Some try to go it alone but nobody wants to do that 
G                            F                                D
Each time you make up your mind your heart beats it's own way back 

chorus:
      C                             D  
And though it doesn't matter that love is blind 
      Em                              A  
You guide it into trouble everything turns out just fine 
C                        D               G  C9  G  C9  G  C9  F  C
That's how you know the heart is a bad design 

Bridge:
Em  
You know it can't keep secrets 
A
It only harbours regrets 
     Em  
You find things lying deep in your heart 
       A                  D          C
Even bad jokes, slips, forgets 

Solo chords:
Em   A  C   D   C   G   D    

G                            F                          C
Sometimes I think I've done wrong but nobody ever did right 
G                                 F                     D
Each time some girl comes along its head over heels overnight 

     C                       D  
You put all the pain to the back of your mind, 
Em                         A  
Dive in deep and hope it works out fine 
C                          D             G   C9   G   C9  
That's how you know the heart is a bad design 
C                          D             G   C9   G   C9  
That's how you know the heart is a bad design 
C                          D             G        
That's how you know the heart is a bad design
