How funny we should meet by chance,
6m 4
my former future true romance.
1 4
I ought to hurry, but
5 57
we really should catch up.
1 5
I'd love to hear what's new with you,
6m 4
but first I'll need a moment to
1 2m
compose myself, catch my breath
5 57
- but not because we've met -
CHORUS:
4 5
it's not you that has me holding tears
1 1
or why I keep the tissues near;
4 5 1 6m
you're not what has me in this misty mood.
4 5
These days I'm rarely sad or lonely;
1maj7 6m
when my makeup runs it's only
4 57 1 1
just dust, just pollen, it's not you.
I heard some so-called friends of mine
ran into you and told you I'm
not coping well, not getting out.
In fact, I'm thriving now.
I'm dancing more and planning trips,
and though I'm not sure whether it's
the allergies or pills I take
keeping me awake...
CHORUS:
it's not you that has me holding tears
or why I keep the tissues near;
you're not the cause of what I'm going through.
These days I'm rarely sad or lonely;
when my makeup runs it's only
dust, or pollen, not you.
BRIDGE:
4 3 6m 6m
There are scientific reasons for weeping and for sneezing
1 57 1 1
and for difficulty sleeping through the night:
4 3 6m 6
It's just particles too small to see, not memories, tormenting me,
2m 2 5 5
and basically ... I'm all right.
CHORUS:
4 5 1 1
It's pollen, it's pollution,
4 5 1 6m7
it's possible I'm fighting off a flu.
4 5 1maj7 6m
Whatever I'm reacting to that fills my tired eyes with dew,
4 57 57 1 1
it's nothing. It's not you.
