This ain't a love song (J.B.Jovi, R.Sambora & D.Child)

from the Bon Jovi album 'These Days'

Intro E | B | D | A | am | E | B

Verse1

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 good bye

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

PreChorus 1

A c#m B

I cried and I cried there were nights that I died for you baby

E c#m B -> Lick 1

I tried and I tried to deny that your love drove me crazy, baby

Chorus 1

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

Verse2

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

You and I were the renegades, some things never change

PreChorus 2

It made me so mad 'cause I wanted it bad for us baby

Now it's so sad that whatever we had, ain't worth saving. -> Lick 1

Chorus 1 -> Lick 2

Chorus 2

If the pain that I'm feeling so strong, is the reason that I'm holding on

Then I'm wrong, yeah I'm wrong - this ain't a love song -> Lick 2
