[Intro]
|  G5  |      |      |G     |
|G     |G     |G     |

[Verse]
G                                 
How many times have you been lost 
                       C
down a trail of broken hearts?
Well I've lost count of all the 
                           G
times I've wandered in the dark
And did you settle for directions 
                         C
and find you're going my way?
Well I know life is full 
of danger ... Hey!

[Interlude]
|G     |G      |

[Verse]
G                                  
"Hello there, so good to meet you" 
                       C
doesn't seem enough to say.                      
But there's no use me hanging 
                             G
here when I'm only taking up space          
So I woke up and told myself 
                            C
"Wouldn't have it any other way"
I thought I'd do myself a favour ...
I'm so pleased I was so brave, 
nothing ventured nothing gained

[Chorus]
G            C         
  Aaaaah You don't get 
              G
  nothing for nothing
          C                   G
But you always get what you deserve
     C                  
In affairs of the heart 
            G
that really matter
         C          G
A bit of pain never hurts

[Verse]
G                                     
Don't go walking in an English garden 
                                  C
you're bound to get caught in the rain
And if you go sailing in a stormy 
                             G
ocean you mightn't get seen again
And half way up Mount Kilimanjaro 
                            C
you know you won't make the top
When all these things are sent to try ya ...
At least you gave it your best shot, 
nothing ventured nothing gained

[Chorus]
G            C         
  Aaaaah you don't get 
              G
  nothing for nothing
          C                   G
But you always get what you deserve
     C                  
In affairs of the heart 
            G
that really matter
         C          G
A bit of pain never hurts
        C                     G
And you don't get nothing for nothing
          C                   G
But you always get what you deserve
     C                  
In affairs of the heart 
            G
that really matter
         C          G

        D             C

What you lose in the corners

Wait to say we can do it tomorrow 
                   C

Take your time and you'll find 
                      G
you're picking up the crumbs                              
It's sel-dom the prize is won 
                            C

When the going gets tough 
the tough get going

And you don't get nothing for nothing
          C                   G
