the last verse may be a tad off but it's close
AYour scrapbook's Dfilled with pictures of aF#mll your leading Bmmen
DWell baby don't Eput my picture in Athere with them
Don't make us some Dlittle girl's dream that F#mcan't ever come tBmrue
DIt only serves to Ghurt and make you Ecry like you do
EWell Dbaby don't Edo it Ato me and F#mI won't Bmdo Bm7it to yAou
AYou see all the roDmantic movies, you F#mdream and take the boys Bmhome
DBut when the acEtion fades you're lAeft all alone
You deserve better than thDis, little girl, F#mcan't you see that you Bmdo
DDo you need someGbody to Eprove it to you?
EWell Dyou Aprove Eit to Ame and F#mI'll prove BmiiiBm7iit to Ayou
[Bridge]
ANow every F#mnight you go out looking for true love's sAatisfaction
But in the F#mmorning you end up settling for just Dlights,lights, lights, lights 
camera, Eaction
AAnd another Dcameo role with some bit F#mplayer you're beBmfriending
DYou're gonna go Ebroken-hearted looking Afor that happy ending
Well girl you're Dgonna end up just aF#mnother lonely ticket Bmsold
DCryin' alone Gin the theater as the Ecredits roll
EYou say DI'll be like those Aother guys
Who fBmilled your head with Apretty lies
And F#mdreams that can Dnever come Etrue
Well baby Dyou be Etrue to Ame
And F#mI'll be BmtruBm7uuue to Ayou
