[Verse 1]
A                D
 After all we've been
A        E
 To one another

 Like sister and bro-ther

 If our love must end

 After bein' the one

 That you took pride in

 The friend you confide in

 Wanting you so badly

 Needing you like this

The lips that I used to ki-i-i-iss
[Verse 3]
A                   D
 If there's someone else
A             E
 Don't let me see him
A                    D
 Cause I'll spend my life
A                F#m E
 Wishing I could be him
