I thought I'd found the man of my dreams 
Dmaj7         Bm7                   Em7 
Now it seems, this is how the story ends 
              A13

"Can't we be friends?"

Not for long! I can see the way this ends

Never    again,

Through with love,   through with men

I thought I'd found a man I could trust

Verse
Em7                       A13 
Yes, I thought I knew the wheat from the chaff 
Dmaj7         Bm7                   Em7

Verse
Em7            A13 
I acted like a kid out of school 
Dmaj7        Bm7                   Em7 
What a fool, now I see this is the end

Bridge
    Gmaj7        G#dim 
Oh, why should I care? 
           Dmaj7   Em7    Dmaj7 
Though she gave    me the air 
             Am7  C7   B7 
Why should I cry, ever sigh 
           Em7    A13 A7+5 A7 
And wonder why 
 
Verse
     Em7                    A13 
Yes, I should have seen the signal to stop 
Dmaj7        Bm7                   Em7 
What a flop, this is how the story ends 
            A13 
She's gonna turn me down and say 
Dmaj7                 F#m7 Fm7 
"Can't we be friends?"
