  			Verse 1:
        G                 G7          C
She was always there each time I needed you,
        G                          D7
holding on to me like I held on to you,
   G                     G7             C
We still don't have what you and I once had;
         G        D7            G    G7
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad.
         C                  G
No, It's Not Love, not like ours was. It's Not Love,
    C        G                 D7
but it keeps love from driving me mad;
    G               G7               C
And I don't have to wonder who she's had.
    D7   G        D7            G    C  G  D7
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad
Verse 2:
  G                G7           C
I turn to her when you leave me alone,
          G                                       D7
sometimes even when you're here, and you're still gone.
      G               G7                C
She'e slowly changing what you leave so sad;
         G       D7             G     G7
No, It's Not Love, But it's not bad.
