DDGC
You're scrapbook's filled with pictures of all your leading men,
DGC
well, baby, don't put my picture in there with them.
AmBmEmEm
Don't make us some little girl's dream that can never come true.
CAmCDD
Oh, baby, don't do it to me, I won't do it to you.
[Chorus]
GGCC
Mary Lou, I'm not like all those other guys.
G/BG/BAmDsus4D
Mary Lou, I won't fill your pretty head with their pretty lies.
GGCC
Mary Lou, and dreams that never, never, never, ever will come true.
GGAmDD
Mary Lou, that'd only serve to hurt and make you cry like you do.
[Verse 2]
DDGC
You've seen all the romantic movies, you dream and take the boys home,
DDGCC
but when the action fades you're left all alone.
AmBmEmEm
You deserve better than this, a real love that can grow,
CCDD
and I ain't playin' outtakes, girl, from some late late show, no.
[Chorus]
GGCC
Mary Lou, you're not like all those others girls,
GGAmD
Mary Lou, so afraid to shake up that real world.
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
DDGCC
Every night you go out looking for true love's satisfaction,
DDGC
but you always end up setting for just lights, camera, action.
AmBmEmEm
And another cameo role with some bit player you're befriending,
CCDD
you're gonna go broken-hearted looking for that happy ending.
[End-Chorus]
GGCC
Mary Lou, I've seen all those movies too,
G/BG/BAmD
Mary Lou, I know the hurt too much dreaming can do.
GGGCC
Mary Lou, you're gonna end up just another lonely ticket sold,
G/BG/BAmD
Mary Lou, crying alone in the theatre as the credits roll.
