Intro:
-nc-
Once upon a time, I still believed in myself
-nc-
I was happy being me and didn't need any help
-nc-
And then somebody that I trusted crushed the feelings I felt
-nc-
I guess a happy never after was the deal I was dealt

Pre-Chorus:
      G
True love doesn't have a happy ending
        C
'Cause when it's real, it doesn't ever end
           G
If I did a rewrite, would I change a damn thing?
                  Bm
Would I flip the script or would I do it all again?

Chorus:
          G                  D
Am I the hero, or maybe the villain?
          Bm                    C
Am I the sidekick, or even the fill-in?
           G                   D
I'll keep going out for every role
      Bm                     C
In a story that'll never be told

                  G                    D
If I wrote you a note, would you ever listen?
            Bm                         C
If we never met, would you be who I'm missing?
           G                         D
I'll keep writin' 'til I'm feelin' complete
     Bm                    C
The story that'll never be we

Verse:
G
I been havin' trouble with believin' in love
     C
Ever since the day you left me, it depressed me and thus
 G
I haven't met somebody worth believin' in much
             Bm
I guess the movies I grew up on didn't teach me enough

G
Learnin' to grow and go and sew my broken heart up
        C
Doesn't happen in an hour, just like Hollywood does
          G
There's a problem and you solve it, that's the way they taught us
    Bm
But how am I supposed to fix me, if I'm all that I've got?

Pre-Chorus:
      G
True love doesn't have a happy ending -No, it doesn't-
        C
'Cause when it's real, it's never really dead
           G
If I did a rewrite, would I change a damn thing?
                  Bm
Would I flip the script or would I do it all again?

Chorus:
          G                  D
Am I the hero, or maybe the villain?
          Bm                    C
Maybe the sidekick, or even the fill-in?
           G                   D
I'll keep going out for every role
      Bm                     C
In a story that'll never grow old

                  G                    D
If I wrote you a note, I hope that you'd listen
            Bm                         C
And if we never met, you'd probably be who I'm missing
           G                         D
I'll keep writin' till I feel I complete
     Bm                    C
The story that'll never be we

Outro:
                      G    C
Yeah, we'll never be we
