==============
HANK:

 VERSE:
       F              C          F              C
   The hidden moon is rising over Forks, Washington,
       F            C                G
   And suddenly you shy away from my body's warmth.
                  F             C                    F              C
   My muscles are hard as I can make 'em, but that's not enough for you,
   F                 C                    G             C
   You want me to be cold and hard like a moving marble statue.

 BRIDGE:
       G                             C
   The only thing that you think you need,
          G                          C
   Is the one thing that I can never be.

 CHORUS:
   C                            C7
   You don't love me 'cause I'm not Edward Cullen
         F                            G7
   I can wear sparkly make-up and act all brave and sullen,
       C                                    C7
   But you can't help but realise these are golden contacts in my eyes,
      F                                  G7            C            
   So you think you can't be the one and only girl for me.

KATHERINE:

 VERSE:
   F        C          F            C
   Only one man can protect me from harm,
          F                  C                 G
   Plus a hundred years of investment made him richer than God.
         F          C            F          C
   For a century he saved his virginity for me,
       F           C                  G                  C
   And I know all about that girl you scored with in two thousand three.

 BRIDGE:
            G                       C
   He's the only man that I can't resist,
           G                               C
   And you can't convince me he does not exist.

 CHORUS:
   C                              C7
   I can't love you 'cause you're not Edward Cullen.
           F                            G7
   You can wear sparkly make-up and act all brave and sullen,
       C                                  C7
   But I can't help but realise those are golden contacts in your eyes,
      F                            G7           C
   So you can never be the one and only boy for me.

==============

I think this is pretty much accurate. You can play around with the C/C7 and G/G7s, if you want.
It's really down to interpretation now.
Rate, favourite or comment or whatever.

And as they say in my home town, Don't Forget to Be Awesome.
