                                 C
This wasn't how it's supposed to go
                           Am7
I should be the one you're dancing with
                       G
Spinning with a vodka coke, everybody at my
 F
fingertips
                    C
I was gonna get my coat, and baby you were meant
    Am7
to follow me
                         G
And I was gonna act surprised,
                         F
even though I’d know you wanted me

     Am7                          C
It's not like I've been crying, no,
         F                G
there’s just smoke in my eyes

Chorus:
                       C
'Cause this ain't no John Hughes movie
          Am7
Where the girl gets the guy
     G                           F
You look right through me, everytime you walk by
                        C
I keep waiting for the heartbreak music
       Am7
That's never gonna come
           G               F
'Cause if you don't want me
                     C  Am7 G F
Then you're not the one

Sitting on a bathroom floor
Trying to get my composure back
Think I built it up too tall
Knew I should've worn my Adidas
Maybe if I'd reined it in
You wouldn't wanna kiss somebody else
And you don't owe me anything
So I'm just gonna walk home by myself

It's not like I've been crying, no
There's just smoke in my eyes

Chorus

C
What am I gonna say, what am I gonna do
Am7
All of our stupid friends know that I’m here for you
G                                            F
Guess I misunderstood, thought you liked me too

C
What am I gonna say, what am I gonna do
Am7
Everyone told me so, don’t wait around for you
G                                            F
Guess I misunderstood, thought you liked me too

Chorus

You're not the one, not the one, no
You're not the one, not the one, no
Not the one, no
Oh, no, no, you're not the one
You're not the one, not the one, no
You're not the one, not the one, no
'Cause if you don't want me
Then you're not the one
