slow pop|country female vocal, 4/4 110 

Funny we should meet by chance,                 1   5
my former future true romance.                  6m7 4
I'm in a hurry but                              1   4
we really should catch up.                      5   57
I'd love to hear what's new with you,           1   5
but first I need a moment to                    6m7 4
compose myself, catch my breath                 1   2m7
- but not because we've met -                   5   57

CHORUS:
it's not you that has me holding tears          4   5
or why I keep the tissues near;                 1   1
you're not what has me in this misty mood.      4   5   1   6m7
These days I'm rarely sad or lonely;            4   5
when my makeup runs, it's only                  1M7 6m7
dust, or pollen, not you.                       4   57  1   1

I heard some so-called friends of mine          1   5
ran into you and told you I'm                   6m7 4
not coping well, not getting out.               1   4
In fact, I'm thriving now.                      5   57
I'm dancing more and planning trips,            1   5
and though I'm not sure whether it's            6m7 4
the allergies or pills I take                   1   2m7
keeping me awake,                               5   57

CHORUS:
it's not you that has me holding tears          4   5
or why I keep the tissues near;                 1   1
you're not the cause of what I'm going through. 4   5   1   6m7
These days I'm rarely sad or lonely;            4   5
when my makeup runs, it's only                  1M7 6m7
dust, or pollen, not you.                       4   57  1   1


BRIDGE:
There are scientific reasons                    4   3
 for weeping and for sneezing                   6m  6m7
 for difficulty sleeping through the night:     4   57  1   1
It's just particles too small to see,           4   3
 not memories, tormenting me,                   6m7 67      
and basically ... I'm all right.                2m7 27  5   57

TAGGY CHORUS:
It's pollen;    it's pollution;                 4   5   1   1
it's possible I'm fighting off a flu.           4   5   1   6m7
Whatever I'm reacting to                        4   5
 that fills my tired eyes with dew,             1M7 6m7
it's nothing -                                  4   5   57
it's not you.                                   1   1
