Tom: G G I was sixteen going twenty-two Em If you knew me then, I probably lied to you Am7 Boys didn't ask for my ID D So hell, I said that I was eighteen [Pre-Chorus] G Left high school, I got no straight A's Em Packed my bags right up got out of that place Am7 Moved to A with no parents D G Thought the world would fall right in my hands [Chorus] G But life's not like the movies (Movies, movies) Em Boys aren't what they should be (Should be, should be) Am7 Girls are cruel and they're mean D You're probably not the prom queen G Life's not like the movies (Movies, movies) [Verse 2] G Met a nice guy Thought he would be the onе Em ‘Till I spent the night And it was one and donе Am7 Never set your standards too high D ‘Cause you're gonna get let down every time [Pre-Chorus] G Perfect plot-twist We’re kissing in the rain Em Then your phone rings and it's her again Am7 Saying that she's crazy And she doesn't mean a thing D This ain't a movie, there ain't no happy endings [Chorus] G But life’s not like the movies (Movies, movies) Em Boys aren’t what they should be (Should be, should be) Am7 Girls are cruel and they’re mean D You’re probably not the prom queen G Life’s not like the movies (Movies, movies) [Bridge] G Couple months are right around here Em Love of my life was still not found yet Am7 And I won’t begin to mention D G My best friend didn’t show up on my birthday Em Didn’t like when I got attention Am7 D So fuck my ex bestfriend [Pre-Chorus] G But life’s not like the movies Em Boys can’t be sweet as candy Am7 We’re still young and we’re free D Don’t have to be the prom queen G (Life’s not like the movies) [Chorus] But life’s not like the movies (Movies, movies) Em Boys aren't what they should be (Should be, should be) Am7 Girls are cruel and they're mean D You're probably not the prom queen G Life's not like the movies (Movies, movies)
