[Intro]
C Em F C Em F
[Verse 1]
F C
It's a human sign
F Dm
When things go wrong
G C
When the scent of her lingers
F Dm
And temptation's strong
G Am
Into the boundary
F G
Of each married man
Am
Sweet deceit comes calling
F G
And negativity lands
[Chorus]
C
Cold, cold heart
F Dm
Hard done by you
G C
Some things lookin' better, baby
F Dm
Just passin' through
G C
And it's no sacrifice
F
Just a simple word
G
Two hearts livin'
C
In two separate worlds
C
But, it's no sacrifice
Dm
No sacrifice
Em F G C Em F
No sacrifice, at all
[Verse 2]
F C
Mutual misunderstandings
F Dm
After the fact
G C
Sensitivity builds a prison
F Dm
In the final act
G Am
We lose direction
F G
No stone unturned
Am
No tears to damn you
F G
When jealousy burns
[Chorus]
C
Cold, cold heart
F Dm
Hard done by you
G C
Some things lookin' better, baby
F Dm
Just passin' through
G C
And it's no sacrifice
F
Just a simple word
G
Two hearts livin'
C
In two separate worlds
C
But, it's no sacrifice
Dm
No sacrifice
Em F C F Dm G
No sacrifice, at all
