Intro 
C    F    Am  G 
C    F    Am  G 


Verso 1: 
C                 F                 Am G 
 I heard a symphony when he started talking 
C 
 First sight, time stop, kinda thing 
F              Am     G 
 The moment he walked in 
F              G 
 Told my mama "we're in love" she said 
         Am                      D7 
 "you're too young to feel that way" 
F                G                C   F 
 But that's just something people say 


 Verso 2:
F 
 That truck we rode around in 
G                     Am G 
 Has lost some of its po-lish 
F 
 We watch leaves fall three times 
    G              Am  G 
 And I went off to col-lege 
F                       G 
 He said "I'll call you every day 
          Am         D7 
 nothing 'bout us is gonna change" 
F                G             C 
 But that's just something people say 



Am        G 
 Maybe we meant it 
F              C 
 And maybe we didn't 
Am          G               F                C 
 Maybe our words are just umbrellas for the rain 
Am        G         F            C 
 I didn't think I'd ever see the day 
         Dm                    G 
 That "I love you" would turn into 
                      C    F   Am G 
 Just something people say 


Ponte:
C 
 My tear-filled can't take back 
F             Am  G 
 Wish I never met you 
C 
 It all fell out so fast 
F             Am       G 
 As a foolish response to 
F             G                      Am               D7 
 His we ain't breaking up we're just taking a little break 
F                 G             C 
 'Cause that just something people say 


 
Am        G 
 Maybe we meant it 
F              C 
 And maybe we didn't 
Am          G               F                C 
 Maybe our words are just umbrellas for the rain 
Am        G         F            C 
 I didn't think I'd ever see the day 
         Dm                    G 
 That "I love you" would turn into 
                      C    F   Am G 
 Just something people say 


Outro 
Am            G 
 If I saw you out 
F              C 
 Somewhere downtown 
         Am           G                 F             C 
 Would I use "good to see you" as an umbrella for the rain 
Am        G         F            C 
 I didn't think I'd ever see the day 
        Dm                     G 
 That "I love you" would turn into 
                      C    F   Am G 
 Just something people say 
                  C 
 Something people say
