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