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