Intro: / C / Em / F / G / C /Em / F / G / G /

VERSE 1:
C                         Em
Oh, I can't stand another heart-ache
           F                     G
Though you say you're my friend, I'm at my wits end
C                    Em                  F     Em     Dm
You say your love is bona fide, but that don't coincide
                         F          Em             F          G
With the things that you do, when I ask you, to be nice - you say

CHORUS:
             F           G     Em          Am
You gotta be cruel to be kind in the right measure
F           G            Em        Am
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
F           G     Em           Am
Cruel to be kind, means that I love you
F    G      G                   C     Em  F  G  G
Ba-by, you gotta be cruel to be kind 

VERSE 2:
       C                  Em
Well I do my best to understand you
        F                  G
But you still mystify, and I wanna know why
C                 Em
I pick myself up, off the ground
            F        Em     Dm              F
To have you knock me back down, again and again
       Em         F
When I ask you to explain - you say

CHORUS:
             F           G     Em          Am
You gotta be cruel to be kind in the right measure
F           G            Em        Am
Cruel to be kind, it's a very good sign
F           G     Em           Am
Cruel to be kind, means that I love you
F    G      G                   C     Em  F  G  G
Ba-by, you gotta be cruel to be kind
