Can't We Be Friends?

I took each word she said as (Eb7)gospel truth,

(G#7)the way a silly little (D#m7)child (G#7)would.

(C#m6)I can't excuse it on the (D#7)grounds of (G#7)youth,

I was no (A9)babe (G#7)in the (C#m6)wild,

(F#m)wild (C#m)wood.

(F#m6)She didn't (C#m)mean it,

(A7)I should've (C#m6)seen it, but (A7)now (G#7)it's too (Db6)late.

(Eb13)I thought I'd found the (Ab7)girl of my (Ab13)(Dbmaj7)dreams,

now it (A7)seems (Db6)this is how the (Db)story (Ebm7)ends.

(Eb7)She's gonna turn me (Gb)down (Ab7)and say,

(Db6)"Can't (B9)we be (Db6)friends?"

(Eb13)I thought for once it (Ab7)couldn't go (Ab13)wrong.

(Dbmaj7)Not for (A7)long, (Db6)I can see the (Db)way this (Ebm7)ends.

(Eb7)She's gonna turn me (Gb)down (Ab7)and say,

(Db6)"Can't (B9)we be (Db6)friends?"

(Gb6)Why should I (Gb9)care, (Ab7)though she

(Eb7)gave (Ab7)me the (Db6)air?

(C7)Why (Db6)should I (B13)cry, heave a sigh,

and wonder (Bb13)why, (B13)and wonder (Bb13)why?

(Eb13)I thought I'd found a (Ebm7)gal I could (Ab13)(Dbmaj9)trust.

What a (Em7)bust, (Db6)this is how the (Db)story (Ebm7)ends.

(Eb7)She's gonna turn me (Ab13)down and say,

(B9)"Can't we (E13)be (Ebm11)just (Db6)friends?"
