Bm                        G
 You can talk to me about powder kegs,
D                       A
 How I'm sitting on one right now.
Bm                       G                       D
 You could warn me about candles at both ends burning
         A       F#
From the outside in

[Chorus]
B                        G#m
 But don't tell me about true love
C#m                              Em    Em
 'Cause I don't think you really know
            B            B
You need to pay the cost
            F#           F#
You need to feel the loss
       Em                    B
'Cause love is expensive and free
Em                    B     Bm  G#m G  G
Love is expensive and free

[Verse]
Bm                  G
 Talk to me about appearances
D                            A
 I tell you lately they mean less and less
Bm                       G
 Do your best to keep me occupied
             D             A        F#
It's hard to concentrate, I must confess

[Chorus]
B                        G#m
 Don't you tell me about heartbreak
C#m                             Em     Em
 'Cause it ain't written in the stars
            B            B
You need to pay the cost
            F#             F#
You need to feel the loss
Em                    B
Love is expensive and free
Em                    B
Love is expensive and free
Em                    B    G#m
Love is expensive and free
C#m               G
Allright, you got me

[Solo]

Bm G D A F#

[Chorus]
B                         G#m
 Don't you worry about my baby
C#m                        F#
 Her eyes are open all the time
B                     G#m
 I could never dare deceive her
C#m                   F#
 Much less remove her from my mind
B                           G#m
 I didn't talk to you about true love
C#m                        Em      Em
 I didn't think you'd understand

           B            B
We need to pay the cost
           F#             F#
We need to feel the loss
Em                    B
Love is expensive and free
Em                    B
Love is expensive and free
Em                    B
Love is expensive and free
