love can bring up fear from way down low
   G
and now we emphasize, true love is just not civilized

true love is not nice, no no


(verse chords)             
well you've been hurt before but now you're hurting double
that's 'cause true love is not nice
and if it's real love then boys there's going to be trouble
that's because true love is not nice

(chorus chords)
and if you're insecure, love will learn for sure
and once that happens something's got to go
the imposter allows you arrest, the real one demands it's test
and that's because true love is not nice, no no

(verse chords)
well you've been hurt before but now you're hurting so
true love is not nice
and if it's real love then that hurt won't go
true love is not nice

(chorus chords)
oh, pain pain pain. Rain rain rain
that's why you felt love's arrow and said aww
well you knew from your first flirt that love was here to hurt
and that's because true love is not nice, no no
