Turns Out Life Isnt Like Romance Novels

C Being raised on romance novels for breakfast lunch and dinner Em Taught me that true love will not survive being a quitter F So I persevered, through all the tears, the heartbreak Fm and the endless years, for you C When you first kissed my hand like you were an old fashion man Em All my carefully made plans unraveled in the sand F And I would not take my eyes off your face Fm To watch the waves, wash them all away Cause you were C The Darcy to my Bennet, the Gilbert to my Anne Em the James to my Lily, why can't you understand? F The reality, that we aren't meant to be Fm C Is tearing these native romantic dreams off at the seams C Living life through fiction, it taints the world I see Em There is no sweet reunion or you serrating me F There's just a mug of tea and comforting Fm Arms that can't quite grab with my last heat C But somewhere in the silence, the thought that does provoke Em That maybe this was all my fault for trusting fairytales F I should've burnt the fiction, stuck with facts Fm But Oh just watch me take you back Cause you were C The Darcy to my Bennet, the Gilbert to my Anne Em the James to my Lily, why can't you understand? F The reality, that we aren't meant to be Fm C Is tearing these native romantic dreams off at the seams C You were the Peter to my Wendy, the Gansey to my Blue Em Hector to my Andromachie was so in love with you F Fm and I, am too lost to cry C Living life through fiction gives unrealistic aims Em I thought that I found love but I got burnt by all the flames F But I will not fall to a stop Fm Cause I almost found, I almost found C The Darcy to my Bennet, the Gilbert to my Anne Em the James to my Lily, why can't you understand? F The reality, that we aren't meant to be Fm C Is tearing these native romantic dreams off at the seams C Yeah you were the Peter to my Wendy, the Gansey to my Blue Em Hector to my Andromachie was so in love with you F Fm and I, just need time Cause I almost found, I almost found
