Intro: G 

G                  F        C       G 
I have been around this old block before
                   D7             D 
I've walked into abruptly closing doors
         G 
Schooled in hard knocks, I've learned alot 
                      C
About how a heart can break 
  G                   C    G
I might not know what love is 
       D            G
But, I know what it ain't 
            D7
   It ain't layin' in the dark 

   And wonderin' why she hasn't called 
                G
   And now it's 2 a.m. 
            D7
   It ain't drivin' by her house  

   To find her wrapped up in the arms 
           Em        C    D7
   Of your ex-best friend  
            G
   It ain't bold-faced lies 

   Or alibis 
                   C
   It cannot be explained 
     G                   C    G
   I might not know what love is 
          D            G
   But, I know what it ain't 
G
You say you could  
F       C      G
Show me how to love 

Baby there's one thing 
D7              D
You can be sure of 
           G
I wouldn't treat you wrong 

Cause I've been on 
                    C
The hurtin' side of pain 
  G                   C    G
I might not know what love is 
       D            G
But, I know what it ain't 
            D7
   It ain't showin' up for dinner 

   With a rose and charddonay 
                 G
   Then drinkin' by yourself 
              D7
   It ain't a postcard from Hawaii 

   Sayin' we can still be friends 
                 Em      C    D7
   But, I've met someone else  
            G
   It ain't bold-faced lies 

   Or alibis 
                   C
   It cannot be explained 
     G                   C    G
   I might not know what love is 
          D            G
   But, I know what it ain't 
              D7
   It ain't a mink coat 

   40 pairs of shoes 
                             G
   2, 14 carat anklets on my MasterCard 
            D7
   It ain't walkin' in a pawnshop 

   Recognizing her engagement ring 
       Em        C    D7
   She swore she lost  
            G
   It ain't bold-faced lies 

   Or alibis 
                   C
   It cannot be explained 
     G                   C    G
   I might not know what love is 
          D            G
   But, I know what it ain't 
          G
   If you had all day, I could tell you things 
                               C
   That would make a grown man faint 
     G                   C    G
   I might not know what love is 
          D            G
   But, I know what it ain't
