E A E A

[Verse 1]

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


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


[Chorus]
E                       A
Close friends, bеsties, roommates, colleagues,
B
Anything but lovers
A
History hates lovers
E                  A
Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies,
B
Anything but lovers
A
History hates lovers


[Verse 2]
E
40 years living together
A
Wearing the same wedding bands
E
Two kids and a golden retriever
A
Just friends don’t live like that
           C#m
They don’t look at each other
                   B
With love in their eyes
     A                                          B
With hopes to settle down for the rest of their lives


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


[Chorus]
E                       A
Close friends, bеsties, roommates, colleagues,
B
Anything but lovers
A
History hates lovers
E                  A
Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies,
B
Anything but lovers
A
History hates lovers


[Verse 3]
A
Keep it hidden
        B
Rewrite history
                         A
Leave it wrapped up in a mystery
                             B
Because no one can figure it out

(I think they figured it out)
C#m       B               A
Stash the proof, hide the evidence
        B                         C#m
Keep it locked until it’s relevant
        B                    A
Because they can’t figure it out

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

And historians will call them


[Chorus]
E                       A
Close friends, bеsties, roommates, colleagues,
B
Anything but lovers
A
History hates lovers
E                  A
Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies,
B
Anything but lovers
A
History hates lovers

[Chorus]
E                       A
Close friends, bеsties, roommates, colleagues,
B
Anything but lovers
A
History hates lovers
E                  A
Sidekicks, family, good pals, buddies,
B
Anything but lovers
A
History hates lovers
