I thought love was only true in fairy tales.

Meant for someone else but not for me.
C               G
Love was out to get me

  That's the way it seemed.

I thought love was more or less a given thing,

Seems the more I gave, the less I got.
C                 G
What's the use in tryin'?

 All you get is pain.
