Tom : A
A F#m Bm
Your scrapbook's filled with pictures of all your leading men
D E A
Well baby don't put my picture in there with them
D F#m Bm
Don't make us some little girl's dream that can't ever come true
D G E
It only serves to hurt and make you cry like you do
E D E A F#m Bm A
Well baby don't do it to me and I won't do it to you
A F#m Bm
You see all the romantic movies, you dream and take the boys home
D E A
But when the action fades you're left all alone
D F#m Bm
You deserve better than this, little girl, can't you see that you do
D G E
Do you need somebody to prove it to you?
E D E A F#m Bm A
Well you prove it to me and I'll prove it to you
A F#m A
Now every night you go out looking for true love's satisfaction
F#m D
But in the morning you end up settling for just lights,lights, lights, lights
E
Camera, action
A F#m Bm
And another cameo role with some bit player you're befriending
D E A
You're gonna go broken-hearted looking for that happy ending
D F#m Bm
Well girl you're gonna end up just another lonely ticket sold
D G E
Cryin' alone in the theater as the credits roll
E D A
You say I'll be like those other guys
Bm A
Who filled your head with pretty lies
F#m D E
And dreams that can never come true
D E A
Well baby you be true to me
F#m Bm A
And I'll be truuuue to you
