CMaybe it was my stubborn eyes that wFon't see you that wCay,
CA filter of a black and white, our Flove was never Cgrey,
COn the night we said goodbye our Feyes were blurred the Csame,
CBut when mine welled up with love and regret your Feyes were filled with Cshame,
How I Fwish, we cGould, be Cfriends,
But you Fbroke and GI won't Cbend,
How I Fwish, we cGould, be fAmriends,
But it hFuuuuGrts, to pretCend.
C F C F C
CThe thought of you and him, twisted dFagger in in my bCack,
CI'll never know what he had that FI clearly Clack,
CAnd every couple of days, war wFages down my spCine,
CThese wounds aren't gonna mend with the pFassage of tCime.
How I Fwish, we cGould, be Cfriends,
But you Fbroke and GI won't Cbend,
How I Fwish, we cGould, be fAmriends,
But it hFuuuuGrts, to pretCend.
C F C F C
CAnd neither one knows where to Fpass the Cblame,
CAnd my closure, oh my closure is a beFast I'll never tCame,
CBut why, after the end of all this,
am I the only oFne left alCone,
CMy stubborn eyes will turn to glass, my bFody turns to sCtone.

How I Fwish, we cGould, be Cfriends,
But you Fbroke and GI won't bCend,
How I Fwish, we cGould, be fAmriends,
But it hFuuuuGrts, But it hFuuuuGrts...
Palm mute/hard strums
How I Fwish, we cGould, be Cfriends,
But Fyou broke and GI won't Cbend,
How I Fwish, we cGould, be fAmriends,
But it hFuuuuGrts, to pretCend that I don't Amlove you,
And it bFuuuuGrns, to kCnow that I can't hAmate you,
So it hFuuuuGrts, to enCd.

These wounds aren't gonna mend with the passage of time.
