[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
