[First Part]

F                                
Who’s gonna tell us the stories, 
A#
that our textbooks don’t?
F                               
Tales of love that stay blurry, 
A#
cause our courses won’t
Dm                     C         
Ignore the way they’re designed 
        A#       C
to erase the past
Dm                      C
To keep good intentions secret
           A#      C
To force.. a mask

F
Too many handwritten letters
A#
Signed to: my dearest, with love
F                             A#
All pulled from their papers, ripped
 out as cover up
Dm                      C        
To disguise endearment, as 
   A#     C
friendly notes
Dm                         C     
It doesn’t take a scholar, to 
               A#
know how this one goеs
    C
And historians will call them

[Chorus]

F                       A#
Close friends, bеsties, roommates, 
colleagues
C
Anything but lovers
A#
History hates lovers
F                  A#
Sidekicks, family, good pals, 
buddies
C
Anything but lovers
A#
History hates lovers

[Second Part]

F
40 Years living together
Continues after the ad
A#
Wearing the same wedding bands
F
Two kids and a golden retriever
A#
Just friends don’t live like that
           Dm
They don’t look at each other
C                   A#    C
With love in their eyes
     Dm               C           
With hopes to settle down for the 
        A#           C
rest of their lives

F
How many decades of hiding?
A#
21 Centuries of hate
F
Some things may not’ve been okay 
back then
A#
But it’s sure all right today
Dm                              C
Too afraid to call it what it is
       A#
It doesn’t take a scholar, to 
understand this
C
And historians will call them

[Chorus]

F                       A#
Close friends, bеsties, roommates, 
colleagues
C
Anything but lovers
A#
History hates lovers
F                  A#
Sidekicks, family, good pals, 
buddies
C
Anything but lovers
A#
History hates lovers

[Third Part]

A#
Keep it hidden
        C
Rewrite history
                         A#
Leave it wrapped up in a mystery
                             C
Because no one can figure it out

(I think they figured it out)
Dm        C               A#
Stash the proof, hide the evidence
        C                          
Keep it locked until it’s relevant
Dm

        C                    A#
Because they can’t figure it out

(I think they figured it out)
        C                    A#
Because no one can figure it out
                        C
I think they figured it out

And historians will call them

colleagues
