We're not
G D
No we're not friends nor have we ever been
A Bm
We just try to keep those secrets in a lie
G D
And if they find out, will it all go wrong
A G D
And heaven knows, no one wants it to
Bm
So I could take the back road
G A
But your eyes will lead me straight back home
G D
And if you know me like I know you
A
You should love me, you should know
D Em
That friends just sleep in another bed
G A D
And friends don't treat me like you do
Bm G D
Well I know that there's a limit to everything
G A D
But my friends won't love me like you
G A D
No my friends won't love me like you
G D
We're not friends we could be anything
A Bm
If we try to keep those secrets safe
G D
No one will find out if it all went wrong
A G D
They'll never know what we've been through
Bm
So I could take the back road
G A
But your eyes will lead me straight back home
G D
And if you know me like I know you
A
You should love me, you should know
D Em
That friends just sleep in another bed
G A D
And friends don't treat me like you do
Bm G D
Well I know that there's a limit to everything
G A D
But my friends won't love me like you
G A D
No my friends won't love me like you
G
But then again, if we're not friends
Bm A
Someone else might love you, too
G
And then again, if we're not friends
Bm A
There'd be nothing I could do
D Em
And that's why friends should sleep in other beds
G A D
And friends shouldn't kiss me like you do
Bm G D
And I know that there's a limit to everything
G A D
But my friends won't love me like you
G A D
No my friends won't love me like you do
G A D
No my friends will never love me like you
