                       F#   E   Bb   Ainstead of  G   F   C   Bb(I think).
Intro:  G   C   F   Bb[x4]
On her way Gto the bdayC  
Was where the trouble uFsed to startBb  
It didn't meGan she wasn't queenC  
Of the tendFer box that was his heaBbrt
Her fiGre is desireC  
Meant that everythFing must come undoneBb  
And so Gnow we knowC  
That it's not Fenough to be in loveBb  F  G  
G(Not enough to be in love)F  
G(Not enough to be in love)F  
He's so truGe; she is tooC  
She says, "I love Fyou, Frank," and then they drank Bb  
All niGght; what a fightC  
He says, "It isn't Fme you're thinking of."Bb  
She's cooGl; it makes him cruelC  
And they kneel tFil the jewels go wailBbing (?)
GDown upon the groundC  
She says "It's not enFough to be in love."Bb  F  G  
Bb(It's not enough; it's not enough)
C(It's not enough to be in love)
BbNot enough to be in love
(It's not enough; it's not enough)
C(It's not enough to be in love)
They woke up; they broke up
They were so volatile and all the while
Life passed; it went fast
And yet they never could forget
The chemistry, like you and me
It proved to keep them both apart for life
And so, now we know that
It's not enough to be in love
(Not enough to be in love)
(Not enough to be in love)
Not enough to be in love
(Not enough to be in love)
