Intro: GAm7GdimGC9FmFdimCEm7AmEm7AmD
I took each word she said as gospel truth
DmE7G/BEm7Am
The way a silly little child would.
Em7AmEm7D
I can't excuse it on the grounds of youth,
DmGEm7DmDm7Am
I was no babe in the wild, wild wood.
FAmCdimAm
She didn't mean it, I should have seen it,
FdimGCC/BA7GdimDm7D7/9 G5
But now it's too late.
F7M D7/9 GG7
I thought I'd found the girl of my dreams,
Cm7/9 FdimCm7/9 CEdimG#7G7
Now it seems, this is how the sto - ry ends --
GAm7GdimGC9
She's gonna turn me down and say,
FmFdimCEdimDm7 - Fdim - G
"Can't we be friends?"
F7M D7/9 GG7
I thought for once it couldn't go wrong,
Cm7/9 FdimCm7/9 CEdimG#7G7
Not for long, I can see the way this ends --
GAm7GdimGC9FmFdimC
She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"
FFdimFmCdimDm7CGFdimC
Why should I care though she gave me the air,
CE7AEm7A7
Why should I cry, heave a sigh,
A7/13- D7/9 Em7D7/9 G
And wonder why, and won - der why?
F7M D7/9 GG7
I thought I found the gal I could trust,
Cm7/9 FdimCm7/9 CEdimG#7G7
Whatta bust, this is how the story ends
GAm7GdimGC9FmFdimC
She's gonna turn me down and say, "Can't we be friends?"
