[Verse 1]
F# C#
I should have seen it coming when the roses died,
E B
should have seen the end of the summer in your eyes
Bm F# C#
I should have listened when you said good night you really meant goodbye
F# C#
Baby ain't it funny, how you ever learn to fall
E B
You're really on your knees, when you think you're standing tall
Bm F# C#
But only fools are 'know-it-alls' and I played that fool for you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
B D#m C#
I cried and I cried there were nights that I died for you baby
B D#m C# -> Lick 1
I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy, baby
[Chorus]
F# C# D#m B
If the love that I got for you is gone, if the river I cried ain't that long
F# C# B
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song
[Verse 2]
F# C#
Baby, I thought you and me would stand the test of time
E B
Like we got away with the perfect crime,
Bm F# C#
But, we were just a legend in my mind I guess that I was blind
F# C#
Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade,
E B
The clowns wore smiles that wouldn't fade
Bm F# C#
You and I were the renegades, some things never change
[Pre-Chorus 2]
B D#m C#
It made me so mad 'cause I wanted it bad for us baby
B D#m C#
Now it's so sad that whatever we had, ain't worth saving -> Lick 1
[Chorus]
F# C# D#m B
If the love that I got for you is gone, if the river I cried ain't that long
F# C# B
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song
[Chorus 2]
F# C# D#m B
If the pain that I'm feeling so strong, is the reason that I'm holding on
F# C# B
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song -> Lick 1
