[Verse]

   G
My cards are on the table, 

yours are in your hands
C
Chances are tonight 

you've already got plans
    Am                 
And chances are I will 
C                     G
talk myself to sleep again
            G
You give me just enough attention to 

keep my hopes too high
        C
Wishful thoughts forget to mention 

when something's really not right
    Am                     C       
And I will block out these voices    
                G     D
of reason in my head
 
 
[Chorus]
                    
And the voices say, 
 C           G     D
"You are not the exception
C              D                  
You will never learn your lesson, 
G
foolish one
                               
Stop checking your mailbox for 
   C
confessions of love 

that ain't never gonna come
Am                          
You will take the long way, 
                           D
you will take the long way down"
 
 
[Verse]

         G
You know how to keep me waiting, 

I know how to act like I'm fine
                   C
Don't know what to call this situation but 

I know I can't call you mine
         Am                   C   
And it's delicate, but I will do  
                      G
my best to seem bulletproof
               G
'Cause when my head is on your shoulder 

it starts thinking you'll come around
          C
And maybe someday when we're older 

this is something we'll laugh about
     Am           C             
Over coffee every morning while 
                    G
you're watching the news
 
 
[Chorus]
                          
But then the voices say, 
C            G     D
"You are not the exception
C              D                  
You will never learn your lesson, 
G
foolish one
                               
Stop checking your mailbox for 
   C
confessions of love

 that ain't never gonna come
Am                          
You will take the long way, 
                            D
you will take the long way down"
G
Foolish one
                              
Stop checking your mailbox for 
   C
confessions of love 

that ain't never gonna come
Am                          
You will have to learn the 
                            D
hard way instead of walking out"
 
 
[Verse]

        Em                    
Now I'm sliding down the wall 
         C
with my head in my hands
         G                       D
Saying, "How could I not see the signs?"
                Em
Oh, you haven't written me or called
            C
But goodbye screaming in the silence
        G                
And the voices in my head  
            D
are telling me why
       G
'Cause you got her on your arm 

and me in the wings
     C
I'll get your longing glances but 

she'll get your ring
    Em               C       
And you will say you had the 
            D
 best of intentions
    Em                   C        D
And maybe I will finally learn my lesson
 
 
[Chorus]

G
Foolish one
                              
Stop checking your mailbox for 
   C
confessions of love 

that ain't never gonna come
Am                          
You will take the long way, 
                           D
you will take the long way down
G
Foolish one
                               
Stop checking your mailbox for 
   C
confessions of love 

that ain't never gonna come
Am                         
You will have to learn the  
                            D
hard way instead of walking out"
 
 
[Outro]

G C
 
Ain't never gonna come
Am                              D
Ooh, you will learn the hard way now
G
Foolish one
                       
Sitting 'round waiting 
       C
for confessions of love, 

they ain't never gonna come
    Am                     
And thinking he's the one, 
                           D
you should've been walking out 
G
Foolish one
                              
The day is gonna come for your 
   C
confessions of love, 

when all is said and done
   Am                       
He just wasn't the one, no, 
   D                  G
he just wasn't the one
