[G]
So you want to be [D] in love like [G] the movies But in the movies they're [D] not in [G] love at all
[Em] With a twinkle [D] in their eyes [B] They're just saying [C] their lines
And [G] so we [D] can't [C] be in [D] love [G] like the movies Now [Eb] in the movies [C] they make it look [G] so perfect
And [Eb] in the background they're [C] always playing the right [G] song
[Eb] And in the ending [C] there's always a [G] resolution But
[B] real life [C] is more [G] than just [D] two [C] hours long
[G] So you want to be [D] in love [G] like the movies But in the movies [D] they're not in [G] love at all
[Em] With a twinkle in [D] their eyes [B] They're just saying [C] their lines
And [G] so we [D] can't be [C] in [D] love like [G] the movies
Well [B] you can freeze frame [C] any moment from [G] a movie
Or [B] run the whole damn [C] thing backward from reel [G] to reel
[B] But I don't see one [C] single solitary light [G] technician
[B] Or one [C] single camera in [G] this
[D] [C] moonlit field
[G] I don't want to [D] be in love [G] like the movies
Cause in the movies [D] they're not in [G] love at all
[Em] With a twinkle [D] in their eyes [B] They're just saying [C] their lines
[G] And so we [D] can't be [C] in [D] love [G] like the movies
[Em] With a twinkle in [D] their eyes [B] They're just saying their [C] lines
And [G] so we [D] can't be [C] in [D] love [G] like the movies
No we can't [D] be [C] in love [D] [G] like the movies
