Verse 1: C My cards are on the table, yours are in your hands G Chances are tonight you've already got plans Gm G C And chances are I will talk myself to sleep again C You give me just enough attention to keep my hopes too high G Wishful thoughts forget to mention when something's really not right Gm G C C And I will block out these voices of reason in my head Chorus: G C C And the voices say, "You are not the exception G C C You will never learn your lesson, foolish one G Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come Gm C You will take the long way, you will take the long way down"
Verse 2: C You know how to keep me waiting, I know how to act like I'm fine G Don't know what to call this situation but I know I can't call you mine Gm G C And it's delicate, but I will Do my best to seem bulletproof C 'Cause when my head is on your shoulder it starts thinking you'll come around G And maybe someday when we're older this is something we'll laugh about Gm G C Over coffee every morning while you're watching the news Chorus: G C C But then the voices say, "You are not the exception G C C You will never learn your lesson, foolish one G Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come Gm C You will take the long way, you will take the long way down" C Foolish one G Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come Gm C You will have to learn the hard way instead of walking out" Verse 3: Gm G Now I'm sliding down the wall with my head in my hands C C Saying, "How could I not see the signs " Gm Oh, you haven't written me or called G But goodbye screaming in the silence C C And the voices in my head are telling me why C 'Cause you got her on your arm and me in the wings G I'll get your longing glances but she'll get your ring Gm G C And you will say you had the best of intentions Gm G C And maybe I will finally learn my lesson Chorus: C Foolish one G Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come Gm C You will take the long way, you will take the long way down C Foolish one G Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love that ain't never gonna come Gm C You will have to learn the hard way instead of walking out" Outro: C G Ain't never gonna come Gm C Ooh, you will learn the hard way now C Foolish one G Sitting 'round waiting for confessions of love, they ain't never gonna come Gm C And thinking he's the one, you should've been walking out C Foolish one G The day is gonna come for your confessions of love, when all is said and done Gm C C He just wasn't the one, no, he just wasn't the one
