[Intro] | E | B | D | A | Am | E | B [Verse 1]
   E                                    B
I should have seen it coming when the roses died,

 D                                 A
should have seen the end of the summer in your eyes

Am                                  E                  B
I should have listened when you said good night you really meant goodbye

E                            B
Baby ain't it funny, how you ever learn to fall

D                                             A
You're really on your knees, when you think you're standing tall

Am                       E                 B
But only fools are 'know-it-alls' and I played that fool for you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
      A                         C#m                           B
I cried and I cried there were nights that I died for you baby

      A                  C#m                          B    -> Lick 1
I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy, baby
[Chorus]
E                                 B                   C#m             A
If the love that I got for you is gone, if the river I cried ain't that long

         E                B                 A
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song
[Verse 2]
 E                                        B
Baby, I thought you and me would stand the test of time

D                            A
Like we got away with the perfect crime,

Am                         E              B
But, we were just a legend in my mind I guess that I was blind

E                                   B
Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade,

  D                            A
The clowns wore smiles that wouldn't fade

 Am                   E        B
You and I were the renegades, some things never change
[Pre-Chorus 2]
A                            C#m                 B
It made me so mad 'cause I wanted it bad for us baby

A                        C#m                       B
Now it's so sad that whatever we had, ain't worth saving -> Lick 1
[Chorus]
         E                        B                   C#m             A
If the love that I got for you is gone, if the river I cried ain't that long

         E                B                 A
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song
[Chorus 2]
        E                         B             C#m               A
If the pain that I'm feeling so strong, is the reason that I'm holding on

         E                B                 A
