[Verse 1]
CI check that I've got Fmaj7all my things Am7before I leave the B/Chouse
Because Amwhen I'm gone I'm never coming back
I'm not Embeing melodramatic, it's just I Fmaj7neither have your Gnumber or a Ckey
CAn evening spent Fmaj7pretending that we're Am7just becoming B/Cfriends
Or Amthis goes any further than going back
I'm not Embeing pessimistic, it's just Fmaj7you and I were Gnever meant to Cbe
[Chorus]
It isn't Flove, it isn't Emlove, it isn't Glove
But Cevery time I B/Ckind of wish it Amwas
FYes, every time I Gkind of wish it Cwas
[Verse 2]
CI've picked up this silly Fmaj7habit in the Am7last few years of B/Cgoing out
In the Amevenings with my friends into the town
Of Empacking a spare t-shirt in my Fmaj7bag in case I Gdo not make it Chome
CIt's pathetic and I Fmaj7know it, but the Am7truth is there've been B/Cmornings
I've proved Amprudent taking toothpaste to the pub
But that's Emprecious little comfort against the Fmaj7knowledge of the Gperson I've Cbecome
[Chorus]
It isn't Flove, it isn't Emlove, it isn't Glove
But Cevery time I B/Ckind of wish it Amwas
Yes, Fevery time I Gkind of wish it Amwas
And I can Fsee that in your Geyes you wish it Amwas
But Fevery time I Gleave you just Cbec---B/Ca---Amuse
It isn't Flove, it isn't Glove, it isn't Clove
