Intro chords  D   G   A  D  
       D                   G
This might come as quite a shock,
          A                  D
But I've given it a lot of thought.
       D                 G                   A
This thing that's come between us can't be ignored.
            D     G
I've taken all I can;
         A                 Bm
This is where it's gotta end.
       G                A         D     A
'Cause I can't be your friend anymore.
    D            G
And I can't be accused,
        A              D
Of not being there for you.
     D             G                     A
How many nights have you shown up at my door?
           D         G
I hope you understand,
           A            Bm
That this wasn't in my plans,
    G                 A        D     A
But I can't be your friend anymore.
           D            G
And it's killing me to know you,
          Bm                A
Without having a chance to hold you.
      D                 G
And all I wanna do is show you,
       A            Bm
How I really feel inside.
         D
You can run to me,
         A
You can laugh at me,
            Em                 A
Or you can walk right out that door.
    Em              A          D      A
But I can't be your friend anymore.
D G A D D G A D
    D                    G
So, baby, now it's up to you
     A            D
Do I win or do I lose?
     D                     G            A
Will my heart fly or lie broken on the floor.
               D      G
Well, take me as I am,
       A               Bm
'Cause I wanna be your man.
    G                 A        D     A
But I can't be your friend anymore.
          D            G
And it's killing me to know you,
          Bm                A
Without having a chance to hold you.
      D                 G
And all I wanna do is show you,
       A            Bm
How I really feel inside.
         D
You can run to me,
         A

            Em                 A
Or you can walk right out that door.
    Em              A          D      A
But I can't be your friend anymore.
Em                A
We can't be just friends anymore.
