Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

Can you tell me something true?

 Tell me stories about people who could have been us

Tales with happy endings where the ending's not the point

 It's the journey, how they got there that will get me through tonight

Chorus

 This is not a love song, or a tale of broken hearts,

 This is just a fragment, not the sum of all its parts

 I'm sorry that I love you, and that you don't love me

 But this is not a love song, it's just how things have to be

Verse 2

 Can you tell me something true?

 Tell me what you had for breakfast, or something like that

Can't we just go back to the way it was before

 When I hadn't been so stupid to read in to something more

Chorus

 This is not a love song, or a tale of broken hearts,

 This is just a fragment, not the sum of all its parts

 I'm sorry that I love you, and that you don't love me

 But this is not a love song, it's just how things have to be

Bridge

And it's a good thing I was never one for fairy tales

Who tells Cinderella "he's just not that into you"?

Chorus

 This is not a love song, or a tale of broken hearts,

 This is just a fragment, not the sum of all its parts

 I'm sorry that I love you, and that you don't love me

 But this is not a love song, it's just how things have to be

 This is not a love song, or a tale of broken hearts,

 This is just a fragment, not the sum of all its parts

 I'm sorry that I love you, and that you don't love me

 But this is not a love song, it's just how things have to be
