     C              Em  
Oh, I can't take another heartache 
           F                 G   
Though you say oh my friend, I'm at my wit's end 
 C                  Em                       F  Am  Dm  
You say your love is bonafide, but that don't coincide 
                         F           Em               F  
With the things that you do and when I ask you to be nice 
    G  
You say you've got to be... 

Chorus:
 F     G         Em           Am  
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

        F                  G  
But you still mystify and I want to know why 
 
 C             Em                         F        Am     Dm  
I pick myself up off the ground to have you knock me back down 
          F               Em            F  
Again and again and when I ask you to explain 
     G  
You say, you've got to be...

Baby, got to be cruel, got to be cruel to be kind
