Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
    C majorC
Being raised on romance novels

for breakfast lunch and dinner
E minorEm
Taught me that true love will not survive being a quitter
FF
So I persevered, through all the tears, the heartbreak
               F minorFm
and the endless years, for you


Verse 2:
   C majorC
When you first kissed my hand

like you were an old fashion man
E minorEm
All my carefully made plans unraveled in the sand
       FF
And I would not take my eyes off your face
                   F minorFm
To watch the waves, wash them all away

Chorus:

Cause you were
   C majorC
The Darcy to my Bennet, the Gilbert to my Anne
   E minorEm
the James to my Lily, why can't you understand?
  FF
The reality, that we aren't meant to be
         F minorFm                   C majorC
Is tearing these native romantic dreams off at the seams


Verse 3:
C majorC
Living life through fiction, it taints the world I see
E minorEm
There is no sweet reunion or you serrating me
        FF
There's just a mug of tea and comforting
                     F minorFm
Arms that can't quite grab with my last heat

Verse 4:
C majorC
But somewhere in the silence, the thought that does provoke
   E minorEm
That maybe this was all my fault for trusting fairytales
       FF
I should've burnt the fiction, stuck with facts
                F minorFm
But Oh just watch me take you back


Chorus:

Cause you were
   C majorC
The Darcy to my Bennet, the Gilbert to my Anne
   E minorEm
the James to my Lily, why can't you understand?
  FF
The reality, that we aren't meant to be
         F minorFm                   C majorC
Is tearing these native romantic dreams off at the seams
       C majorC
You were the Peter to my Wendy, the Gansey to my Blue
E minorEm
Hector to my Andromachie was so in love with you
  FF          F minorFm
and I, am too lost to cry


Bridge:
C majorC
Living life through fiction gives unrealistic aims
E minorEm
I thought that I found love but I got burnt by all the flames
     FF
But I will not fall to a stop
F minorFm
Cause I almost found, I almost found


Chorus:
  C majorC
The Darcy to my Bennet, the Gilbert to my Anne
   E minorEm
the James to my Lily, why can't you understand?
  FF
The reality, that we aren't meant to be
         F minorFm                   C majorC
Is tearing these native romantic dreams off at the seams
       C majorC
Yeah you were the Peter to my Wendy, the Gansey to my Blue
E minorEm
Hector to my Andromachie was so in love with you
  FF          F minorFm
and I, just need time

Cause I almost found, I almost found
