I thought love was only true in fairy tales

C G
Love was out to get me
C G
Thats the way it seemed.
C G D Stop.
Disappointment haunted all my dreams.
[Chorus]

first chord (G) on the first down strum, and hit the C on the final down strum, and
change chords on the upstroke.
During the chorus Guitar two should play the guitar 2 inro riff over each line of the chorus.
