Best Friend Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Here we are just trying
[D]to [Em]be flatmates
Here we are just trying [D]to sophisticate
Be an adult, trying not to fall in [A]love
Be a human, try[D]ing not to stand [G]up

[Verse 2]
Here we are just [G]trying to be neighbors
[Em]You in bed,
me still with the painter[D]s
Smoking at the window, at the magpies
[A]Trying to work out what's the truth
and what's the [G]lie
[Gm]

[Verse 3]
[D]
I'm not saying that we
will be best friend[A]s
But I took you dancing at the weekend
[G]Tell your folks in bed you had to play
I'll [Gm]try to make you feel like
the kids are playing [C]pretend

[Verse 4]
[D]I'm not saying that we can't
be running mates
[F#m]You run too fast for me,
I try to keep [G]the pace
What I lack in speed I make up for
in the [Gm]way I move my hips
And the way the sun comes
out when [D]I move my lips

[Verse 5]
So you [Am]won't want to miss
All [Em]the shapes that can make
It's a [Gm]choice you want to [Bb]take

[Verse 6]
[A]Here we are just trying to be
[D]Oh, [G]here we are just trying not to
[D]Fall in love
It's only [F#m]human not to want to be alone

[Verse 7]
[G]Here we are just trying to be
[Em]Oh, [Gm]here we are just trying not [C]to
[D]Get too close
[A]

[Verse 8]
[D]
Come on rant to me
I'll be your lock and [A]fold
Tell me all your dirt
I'll never tell [G]a soul
Tell me over steam and mac 'n cheese
Hold [Gm]the tray above your knees
We can listen to the [Edim]radi o[Em]

[Verse 9]
[D]I'm not saying I will
kick you downright
[F#m]Stick with me and oh we
end up bein' [G]like
There are other ways to feel you out
I can [Gm]look into your soul
I can feed you all the love

[Verse 10]
I've been [D]savin' up
Oh, and [Am]don't let me run
I'm [Em]a-digging my my way in
I just [Gm]like the game you're [Bb]playing

[Verse 11]
[A]Here we are just trying to be
[D]Oh, [G]here we are just trying not to
[D]Fall in love
It's only [F#m]human not to want to be alone

[Verse 12]
[G]Here we are just trying to be
[Em]Oh, here[Gm] we are just try i[Bbaug]ng not to[Gm]
[D]Get too close
[A]

[Verse 13]
[D]
I'm not saying that
we can't be dreamers
[F#m]Here we are just trying to be neighbors
[G]We can lie awake and watch the sky
Forget [Gm]the truth, forget the lie
For the moment you're my best [A]friend
