      C
You smell just like childhood
                                D
Like running off the Hollywood time, fine
 C
Summer rays, gettin' burned
                             D
Gettin' layed for the first time
You were mine

Chorus:
       C
Never wanted this to end
I don't know what else to do
         D
I don't wanna love again
Now I know where there's to lose
        C
Said forever on a whim
Should've known it wasn't true
         D
I don't wanna love again
                             C    G/B  A#
If it can't be, it can't be you, ohh-ohh
G/B         C    G/B   A# G/B
It can't be you, ohh-ohh

C
Jealous heart in sweaty hands
                              D
Springtime in Manhattan went so fast
It can't get back
C
Knew each other so very well
Don't wanna learn nobody else
 D#                            D
Know me better, then I knew myself

Chorus

                   D#
Who else knows the inner workings of my mind
The end of all my stories
   G
I need to be alone sometimes
Pull my hair before I cry
D#
Careful with these memories
Careful or they'll bury me
   Em          D           C#m7-5
If I could go back, then I won't

Chorus

It can't be you, ooh, ooh
(I don't think I'll ever love again,
I don't think I'll ever love without you)
It can't be you, ooh, ooh
(I don't think I'll ever love again,
I don't think I'll ever love without you)
It can't be you, ooh, ooh
(I don't think I'll ever love again,
I don't think I'll ever love without you)
It can't be you, ooh, ooh
