Tom: G
D D G C
You're scrapbook's filled with pictures of all your leading men,
D G C
well, baby, don't put my picture in there with them.
Am Bm Em Em
Don't make us some little girl's dream that can never come true.
C Am C D D
Oh, baby, don't do it to me, I won't do it to you.
[Chorus]
G G C C
Mary Lou, I'm not like all those other guys.
G/B G/B Am Dsus4 D
Mary Lou, I won't fill your pretty head with their pretty lies.
G G C C
Mary Lou, and dreams that never, never, never, ever will come true.
G G Am D D
Mary Lou, that'd only serve to hurt and make you cry like you do.
[Verse 2]
D D G C
You've seen all the romantic movies, you dream and take the boys home,
D D G C C
but when the action fades you're left all alone.
Am Bm Em Em
You deserve better than this, a real love that can grow,
C C D D
and I ain't playin' outtakes, girl, from some late late show, no.
[Chorus]
G G C C
Mary Lou, you're not like all those others girls,
G G Am D
Mary Lou, so afraid to shake up that real world.
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
D D G C C
Every night you go out looking for true love's satisfaction,
D D G C
but you always end up setting for just lights, camera, action.
Am Bm Em Em
And another cameo role with some bit player you're befriending,
C C D D
you're gonna go broken-hearted looking for that happy ending.
[End-Chorus]
G G C C
Mary Lou, I've seen all those movies too,
G/B G/B Am D
Mary Lou, I know the hurt too much dreaming can do.
G G G C C
Mary Lou, you're gonna end up just another lonely ticket sold,
G/B G/B Am D
Mary Lou, crying alone in the theatre as the credits roll.
