Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Promises are made to be broken

Haven't you heard?

He said he'd never break your heart

Now haven't you learned?

 You believed in the words

 In all that they meant

 Oh, but love is not some popular song

Filled with empty sentiment

That's what passes for love

That's what passes for love these

Days

 Oh these days

It won't take a miracle, darlin'

Just keep it real

 This world can make us cynical, darlin'

I know how it feels

You took it to heart

 What they said on the screen

 Oh, but love is not just playing a part

In some very scripted scene

That's what passes for love

That's what passes for love

That's what passes for love these

Days

 No one can complete you or make you whole

 Well

 But love will come to greet you half way

 Though the streets are never paved with gold

Promises are made to be broken

Haven't you heard?

He said he'd never break your heart

 Now haven't you learned?

 You believed in the words

 In all that they meant

 Oh, but love is not some popular song

Filled with empty sentiment

That's what passes for love

That's what passes for love

That's what passes for love these

Days
