[Verse 1]
---------------------
     C                  Em
Oh, I can't take another  heartache
           F                        G7sus4
Though you say you're my friend, I'm      at my wit's end
C                    Em
 You say your love is  bona fide
              F        Em Dm                           F
But that don't coincide     with the things that you do
              Em               F       G
And when I ask  you to be nice, you say
You gotta be

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
F           G      Em          Am
Cruel to be kind in  the right measure

Cruel to be kind it's a very good sign

Baby, you gotta be cruel to be kind

[Verse 2]

G F G          C                Em
     Well, I do my best to understand, dear
        F                  G7sus4
But you still mystify and I      want to know why
C                Em
 I pick myself up  off the ground
           F         Em       Dm               F
To have you knock me back down  again and again
              Em              F       G
And when I ask  you to explain you say
You gotta be
