The Avett Brothers - Love Like The Movies

       G             D             G
So you want to be in love like the movies
       G                  D              G
But in the movies they're not in love at all
           Em               D
And with a twinkle in their eyes
Bm                        C
They're just saying their lines
       G          D             G
So we can't be in love like the movies


           Bm          C               G
Now in the movies they make it look so perfect
           Bm                 C                        G
And in the background they're always playing the right song
           Bm             C             G
And in the ending there's always a resolution
   Bm            C              G   D     C
But real life is more than just two hours long


       G             D             G
So you want to be in love like the movies
       G                  D              G
But in the movies they're not in love at all
           Em               D
And with a twinkle in their eyes
Bm                        C
They're just saying their lines
       G          D             G
So we can't be in love like the movies


             Bm               C             G
Well you can freeze frame any moment from a movie
           Bm               C                      G
Or run the whole damn thing backwards from reel to reel
       Bm                  C                   G
But I don't see one single solitary light technician
    Bm        C              G   D   C
Or one single camera in this moonlit field


        G             D             G
I don't want to be in love like the movies
         G                  D              G
Cause in the movies they're not in love at all
       Em               D
With a twinkle in their eyes
Bm                        C
They're just saying their lines
       G          D             G
So we can't be in love like the movies
