     E                             B/D#
I should have seen it coming when roses died
Bm/D                            A
Should have seen the end of summer in your eyes
Am                               E
I should have listened when you said good night
     B
You really meant good bye
E                                  B/D#
Baby, aint it funny, how you never ever learn to fall
Bm/D                          A
Youre 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

    A
I cried and I cried
            C#m                      B
There were nights that died for you baby
    A                    C#m                          B
I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy, baby

Chorus:
        E                          B
If the love that I got for you is gone
        C#m                     A
If the river I cried aint that long
          E              B                 A
Then Im wrong, yeah Im wrong, this aint a love song

Baby, i thought you and me would stand the test of time
Like we got away with the perfect crime
But we were just a legend in my mind
I guess that I was blind
Remember those nights dancing at the masquerade
The clowns wore smiles that wouldn't fade
But you and I were the renegades, some things never change
It made me so mad because I wanted it bad for us baby
And now it's so sad that whatever we had ain't worth saving

If the love that I've got for you is gone
And if the river I’ve cried ain’t that long
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song

If the pain that I'm feeling so strong
Is the reason I'm holding on
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song

I cried and I cried
There were nights that I died for you baby
I tried and I tried to deny your love drove me crazy, baby

Chorus:
If the love that I've got for you is gone
And if the river I’ve cried ain’t that long
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong, this ain't a love song

If the pain that I'm feeling so strong
Is the reason I'm holding on
Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song

Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song
Then, I'm wrong, yeah, I'm wrong - this ain't a love song
