Love, it was meant to be played by the rules
      A/BA/B             EMaj9Emaj9
Guess that I'm just like all the other fools

I would make believe they're true

One more lie for a fool

Shouldn't matter much to you, oh no
EMaj9Emaj9       C/DC/D
Though it may seem incomplete
GMaj9Gmaj9        A/BA/B
I'll pretend not to know it

Maybe love is obsolete
      GMaj9Gmaj9
There's no one who will see
    A/BA/B
Keep on lying to me
