Tom: Ab

Fm  Eb                Ab
    I thought it was easy
Fm  Eb                    Ab
    I thought you could choose
Fm  Eb                    Ab      Db
    I thought that if you tried hard
Fm  Eb                 Ab
    Then you couldn't lose
Fm  Eb                  Ab
    I thought it was pleasure
Fm  Eb                 Ab
    I thought it was pure


[Chorus]
     Fm        Eb        Ab   Db
Oh I thought I knew what love was
Fm     Eb      Ab
   till I met you
     Fm        Eb        Ab   Db
Oh I thought I knew what love was
Fm     Eb      Ab
   till I met you


[Bridge]
Db                   Fm
   It's big and it's bright
Ab                     Eb/G
   It's more like a storm
Db                   Fm
   Gives you a pound boy
Ab                      Eb/G
   No you wanted some more

     Fm        Eb        Ab   Db
Oh I thought I knew what love was
Fm     Eb      Ab
   till I felt yours


[Verse 2]
Fm  Eb                Ab
    Thought it was simple
Fm  Eb               Ab
    Thought we on track
Fm  Eb                    Ab      Db
    I thought that if you kept on giving
Fm  Eb                  Ab
    Then you'd get it back
Fm  Eb                  Ab
    I thought it was spoiled
Fm  Eb                  Ab
    But I guess I was wrong


[Chorus]
     Fm        Eb        Ab   Db
Oh I thought I knew what love was
Fm     Eb      Ab
   till you were gone
     Fm        Eb        Ab   Db
Oh I thought I knew what love was
Fm     Eb      Ab
   till you were gone


[Bridge]
Db                     Fm
    It's sweet and it's darker
Ab                          Eb/G
    And it's cruler than cruel
Db                     Fm
    It's long and it's harder
Ab                        Eb/G
    And it don't got no rules


[Chorus]
     Fm        Eb        Ab   Db
Oh I thought I knew what love was
Fm     Eb      Ab
   till I met you
     Fm        Eb        Ab   Db
Oh I thought I knew what love was
Fm     Eb      Ab
   till I met you
