I have a friend 
She's just a friend 
...............G 
I tried to comfort and defend 
................................................D 
I gave her what you might call advice 
...................................................E........A 
But nothing like that comes without a price 
...................D 
The rumour was a cruel surprise 
....................G 
And she dissolved before my eyes 
.................................................G/F#....Em 
I offered my hand and hers and mine entwined 
........................................................................A..................D 
I thought about back then when I wished that she had been mine 
 
............................G.....G/F#....Em 
There's no use in shedding any tears 
..........................D....................... 
He's no good to you the way he is 
G.......G/F#.....Em..............A7 
He's beyond forgiving and believing 
.................D 
Half of his heart is torn like paper 
.........................G........G/F#.....Em 
It's sweet as the syrup from the maple 
............................A.........................D 
But that's not the part of him you're leaving
