Bb
Ain't like we've been friends
          Gm
all these years,
F
Ain’t like I've been there
   Eb
to dry all of your tears.
Bb                       Gm
Don't want to assume anything,
F
Guess it always seemed
   Eb
so obvious to me.
           F
All those late nights,
Gm
Car rides,
Eb                 Bb
Two AM talks about our lives,
F                 Gm
Has it all meant nothing
Eb
to you?

[Chorus]
       F                     Gm
If I'm not the one you want,
     Eb                    Bb
Go ahead and break my heart,
        F                 Gm
I won't ask to hold your hand,
        Eb              Bb
I won't ask for anything.
          F             Gm
I'll just stand by your side,
          Eb            Bb
Act like everything is fine,
          F         Gm
And do my best to pretend,
           Eb
That we're nothing more than,
Eb
Nothing more than,

Friends.

[Verse 2]
Bb                 Gm
I'm not asking for apologies,
        F
Yeah, I know that you
      Eb
don't owe me anything.
     Bb
But, boy I could have
          Gm
used some clarity,
F
Could it have hurt
          Eb
to have a bit more honesty?
                     F
Bout all those late nights,
Gm
Car rides,
       Eb
Did it all mean nothing
   Bb
in your mind?
F
You dont have to
Gm
leave me in the dark.

[Chorus]
       F                     Gm
If I'm not the one you want,
     Eb                    Bb
Go ahead and break my heart,
        F                 Gm
I won't ask to hold your hand,
        Eb              Bb
I won't ask for anything.
          F             Gm
I'll just stand by your side,
          Eb            Bb
Act like everything is fine,
          F         Gm
And do my best to pretend,
           Eb
That we're nothing more than,
Eb
Nothing more than,

Friends.

[Bridge]
            F               Gm
Why did you leave me in the dark?
            Eb               Bb
Why did you have to break my heart?
      F                Gm
If a friend is all you want,
           Eb              Bb
You didn't have to lead me on.
          F
All those late nights,
Gm
Car rides,
Eb
Was it all just a game
       Bb
inside your mind?
F
It's good,
Gm
It's fine,
Eb
You can't choose who you love.

[Chorus]
       F                     Gm
If I'm not the one you want,
     Eb                    Bb
Go ahead and break my heart,
        F                 Gm
I won't ask to hold your hand,
        Eb              Bb
I won't ask for anything.
          F             Gm
I'll just stand by your side,
          Eb            Bb
Act like everything is fine,
          F         Gm
And do my best to pretend,
           Eb
That we're nothing more than,
Eb
Nothing more than,
