|G |G |
My cards are on the table, yours are in your hand
|Cadd9 |Cadd9 |
Chances are, tonight, you've already got plans
|Am |C |G |G |
And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again
|G |G |
You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high
|Cadd9 |Cadd9 |
Wishful thoughts forget to mention when something's really not right
|Am |Cadd9 |G |D |
And I will block out these voices of reason in my head, and the voices say
|C |G D/F# |C |D |
"You are not the exception, you will never learn your lesson"
|G |G |Cadd9 |Cadd9 |
Foolish one, stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love, that ain’t never gonna come
|Am |Am |D |D |
You will take the long way, you will take the long way down
|G |G |
You know how to keep me waiting, I know how to act like I'm fine
|Cadd9 |Cadd9 |
Don't know what to call this situation, but I know I can't call you mine
|Am |Cadd9 |G |G |
And it's delicate, but I will do my best to seem bulletproof
|G |G |
'Cause when my head is on your shoulder, it starts thinking you'll come around
|Cadd9 |Cadd9 |
And maybe someday when we're older, this is something we'll laugh about
|Am |Cadd9 |G |D |
Over coffee every morning while you're watching the news, but then the voices say
|C |G D/F# |C |D |
"You are not the exception, you will never learn your lesson"
|G |G |Cadd9 |Cadd9 |
Foolish one, stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love, that ain’t never gonna come
|Am |Am |D |
You will take the long way, you will take the long way down
|G |G |Cadd9 |Cadd9 |
Foolish one, stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love, that ain’t never gonna come
|Am |Am |D |D |
You will learn the hard way instead of just walking out
|Em |C |
Now I'm sliding down the wall with my head in my hands
|G |D |
Saying, "How could I not see the signs?"
|Em |C |
Oh, you haven't written me or called, but goodbye screaming in the silence
|G |D |D |
And the voices in my head are telling me why
|G |G |
'Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings
|Cadd9 |Cadd9 |
I'll get your longing glances, but she'll get your ring
|Am |C |G |G |
And you will say you had the best of intentions
|Am |C D |
And maybe I will finally learn my lesson
|G |G |Cadd9 |Cadd9 |
Foolish one, stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love, that ain’t never gonna come
|Am |Am |D |
You will take the long way, you will take the long way down
|G |G |Cadd9 |Cadd9 |
Foolish one, stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love, that ain’t never gonna come
|Am |Am |D |D |
You will learn the hard way instead of just walking out, oh-oh, oh, oh
|G |G |Cadd9 |Cadd9 |
La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, oh, la-la-la-la-la, ain’t never gonna come
|Am |Am |D |D |
Ooh, you will learn the hard way now
|G |G |Cadd9 |Cadd9 |
Foolish one, sitting 'round waiting for confessions of love, they ain’t never gonna come
|Am |Am |D |D |
And thinking he's the one, you should've been walking out
|G |G |Cadd9 |Cadd9 |
Foolish one, the day is gonna come for your confessions of love, when all is said and done
|Am |Am |D |D |
He just wasn't the one, no, he just wasn't the one
|G |
