If We Are Only Friends
Françoise Hardy 1964
[Intro]
D G D A
[Verse 1]
If we are only friDends why do you kiGss me like Ayou GdoA  
If we are only friDends why do you hoGld me all night throAughG  
Do the words "I Dlove you" never coGme to your miAndA  
Don't you knoDw I love you or is loGve really blAindA  
[Verse 2]
And every time we danDce when there is staGrlight up AaboveG  A  
I wonder if by chaDnce you will diGscover this Ais loveG  A  
Could we be as hapDpy as we boGth seem to AbeA  
Could we be so hapDpy for the whGole world to Asee if we are only friDends
[Bridge]
All eveGning in your arms you hoDld me till suddGenly it's time to paArt
I wonGder why you always hoDld me so cloEse to your Aheart
[Verse 3]
If we are only friDends why don't you danGce with someone AnewG  A  
And when the party Dends why do I alwGays leave with AyouG  A  A7  
There's a happy endDing but on Gyou that deApendsA  
And until you Dtell me I can Gonly Asay we're just very good friDends
We are Aonly good friDends we’re Astill very good Dfriends

If We Are Only Friends

Françoise Hardy 1964

[Intro]

D G D A

[Verse 1]

D G A G A

If we are only friends why do you kiss me like you do

D G A G

If we are only friends why do you hold me all night through

D G A A

Do the words "I love you" never come to your mind

D G A A

Don't you know I love you or is love really blind

[Verse 2]

D G A G A

And every time we dance when there is starlight up above

D G A G A

I wonder if by chance you will discover this is love

D G A A

Could we be as happy as we both seem to be

D G A D

Could we be so happy for the whole world to see if we are only friends

[Bridge]

G D G A

All evening in your arms you hold me till suddenly it's time to part

G D E A

I wonder why you always hold me so close to your heart

[Verse 3]

D G A G A

If we are only friends why don't you dance with someone new

D G A G A A7

And when the party ends why do I always leave with you

D G A A

There's a happy ending but on you that depends

D G A D

And until you tell me I can only say we're just very good friends

A D A D

We are only good friends we’re still very good friends
