Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 You  call a truce and then you start a fight,
 you  change your signals like a traffic light
 cause you're a hard,  a hard one to know.
 Around  your heart you've tied a fishing line,
 You  cast it out there just to see who'll bite
 cause you're a hard,  a hard one to know.
 I toss  and turn but I just can't  get to sleep
 when  I start thinkin' 'bout what you  do to me.
 You're  like a flower garden buried  in snow,
 you're a hard  one to know.
 You  give your love out like an auctioneer.
 Your  moves are jumpy and your words aren't clear
 cause you're a hard,  a hard one to know.
 First  you smother then you disengage
 Your  tears of joy dissolve to tears of rage
 cause you're a hard,  a hard one to know.
 I toss  and turn but I just can't  get to sleep
 when  I start thinkin' 'bout what you  do to me.
 You  drag your feet as you swing  to and fro,
 you're a hard  one to know.
 I toss  and turn but I just can't  get to sleep
 when  I start thinking 'bout what you  do to me.
 You're  like a flower garden buried  in snow,
 you're a hard  one to know.
 And  I try to love ya but you won't  let me in.
 You  say it's ending before it  can begin.
 You  tell to stay and then you tell  me to go,
 you're  a hard one to know.
