Intro :
{C}    {G}    {Gm}    {F}    {Fm}    {C}

[C]I should have seen it coming when ro[G]ses died [][Gm]
Should have seen the end of s[F]ummer in your eyes [Fm]
I should have listened
When you s[C]aid good night
You really meant g[G/C]ood bye
[C]Baby, ain’t it funny,
How you never ev[G]er learn to fall [][Gm]
You’re really on your knees,
When you t[F]hink you’re standing tall [Fm]
But only fools are kn[C]ow-it-alls
And I play[G/C]ed that fool for you

I cr[F]ied and I cried
There were ni[Am]ghts that died for you [G]baby
I tri[F]ed and I tried to d[Am]eny
That your love drove me c[G]razy, baby

Reff :
   If the lo[C]ve that I got for you is go[Gadd9]ne
   If the [Am]river I cried ain’t that l[F]ong
   Then I’m wr[C]ong,
   Yeah I’m wr[Gadd9]ong,
   This ain’t a love song [F]

[C]Baby, I thought you and me
would stand t[G]he test of time [Gm]
Like we got away with th[F]e perfect crime but [][Fm]

We were just a l[C]egend in my mind
I guess [G/C]that I was blind
[C]Remember those nights dancing at[G] the masquerade [Gm]
The clowns wore [F]smiles that wouldn’t fad[Fm]e
You and I were t[C]he renegades,
Some things never [G/C]change

[F]It made me so mad
‘Cause [Am]I wanted it bad for us [G]baby
[F]Now it’s so sad that wha[Am]tever we had,
Ain’t wort[G]h saving

Reff :
   If th[C]e love that I got for you i[Gadd9]s gone
   If t[Am]he river I’ve cried ain’t [F]that long
   Then [C]I’m wrong,
   Yes I[Gadd9]’m wrong,
   This ain’t a love [F]song
   If th[C]e pain that I’m feeling so [Gadd9]strong
   Is t[Am]he reason that I’m holding[F] on
   Then [C]I’m wrong,
   Yeah [Gadd9]I’m wrong
   This ain’t a lov[F]e song

I cried [F]and I cried
There we[Am]re nights that I died fo[G]r you baby
I tri[F]ed and I tried to d[Am]eny
That your love drove me c[G]razy

Reff :
   If th[C]e love that I got for you i[Gadd9]s gone
   If t[Am]he river I cried ain’t tha[F]t long
   Then [C]I’m wrong,
   Yeah [Gadd9]I’m wrong
   This ain’t no lo[F]ve song
   If th[C]e pain that I’m feeling so [Gadd9]strong
   Is t[Am]he reason that I’m holding[F] on
   Then [C]I’m wrong,
   Yeah [Gadd9]I’m wrong
   This ain’t a lov[F]e song

   Yeah [Gadd9]I’m wrong
   This ain’t a lov[F]e song
   Yes, [C]I’m wrong,

   This ain’t a lo[F]ve song
