G             D7            G
So you want to be in love like the movies 
       G                  D7             G
But in the movies they're not in love at all 
           Em               D7
And with a twinkle in their eyes 
B7                        C
They're just saying their lines 
       G          D7            G
So we can't be in love like the movies 


           B7          C               G 
Now in the movies they make it look so perfect 
           B7                 C                        G
And in the background they're always playing the right song 
           B7             C             G
And in the ending there's always a resolution 
   B7            C              G   D7    C
But real life is more than just two hours long 


       G             D7            G
So you want to be in love like the movies 
       G                  D7             G
But in the movies they're not in love at all 
           Em               D7
And with a twinkle in their eyes 
B7                        C
They're just saying their lines 
       G          D7            G
So we can't be in love like the movies 


             B7               C             G 
Well you can freeze frame any moment from a movie 
           B7               C                      G 
Or run the whole damn thing backwards from reel to reel 
       B7                  C                   G 
But I don't see one single solitary light technician 
    B7        C              G   D7  C 
Or one single camera in this moonlit field 


        G             D7            G
I don't want to be in love like the movies 
         G                  D7             G
Cause in the movies they're not in love at all 
       Em               D7
With a twinkle in their eyes 
B7                        C
They're just saying their lines 
       G          D7            G
So we can't be in love like the movies
