Verse 1:
Bm
Started out, started out so simple
        A
We were running 'round, running 'round like children
        G
How did we allow, we allow this story
   D       F#
To fall so south?

Bm
What were we, what were we both thinking?
        A
We were so naive, so naive believing
        G
We were still happy, still happy
              D       F# N.C.
How could I ignore my doubts?
🎸

Pre-Chorus:

I keep on telling myself
Bm
We had something

But did we stay together
G
Longer than we should?
                        A
Were we just playing pretend

Because we could?
                   E
Was it really that good?


Chorus:

I keep on telling myself
Bm
It's not what it was
                      G
Did we just want to believe

That this was love?
                        A
Was it really worth the trouble

That it caused?
                    E
Look where we ended up


Post-Chorus:
                    Bm
I keep on telling myself
                    G
I keep on telling myself
                    A
I keep on telling myself
                    E
I keep on telling myself, ooh


Verse 2:
Bm
Don't pretend, don't pretend you're all of a sudden
A
Innocent, innocent, my darling
          G
How could you forget, you forget the first half of
    D      (F#)
The story now?


Pre-Chorus:
N.C.
  I keep on telling myself
Bm
We had something

But did we stay together
G
Longer than we should?
                        A
Were we just playing pretend

Because we could?
                   E
Was it really that good?

I keep on telling myself


Bridge:
    G
And now that you're gone
  D               F#
I see it all clearly
    G
And don't get me wrong
  D                 F#
I wouldn't change a thing

I keep on telling my


Pre-Chorus:
N.C.
  I keep on telling myself
Bm
We had something

But did we stay together
G
Longer than we should?
                        A
Were we just playing pretend

Because we could?
                   E
Was it really that good?


Chorus:
N.C.
  I keep on telling myself
Bm
It's not what it was
                      G
Did we just want to believe

That this was love?
                        A
Was it really worth the trouble

Look where we ended up
