Chords by JJane
Capo 3
Em B7
You look like you just lost your dearest friend.
Em B7
Played a round of a sisterly game called “pretend”.
Em B7 D B7 Em
The dice landed on feelings not returned,I was a fool I didn’t learn.
D B7
Close to the fire felt the burn.
Em B7
This is a tale ‘bout loyalty to me.
Em B7
A friendship’s end, of course, amicably.
Em B7 D B7 Em
I must apologize for my cold goodbye,This is my life, the reason why,
D B7
You’re not allowed here back inside.
Em B7
I remember when I first laid eyes on you.
Em B7
I thought here’s one that understands my truth.
Em B7 D B7 Em
You seemed as openly-closed as myself,I felt intrigued I felt unwell,
D B7
I had no choice I had to tell.
Em B7
But once entrusted with my biggest fears
Em B7
I’ve questioned where I’ve had you through the years.
Em B7 D B7 Em
You kept a portion of my heart to sell, You did not treat it very well
D B7
Although I begged you not to tell.
Em B7
You’re all telling stories,
Em D
You’re all telling lies,
Em B7
How come you’re so blurry?
Em D
You’re all in disguise.
Em B7 Em D (x2)
Em B7
There are some people you’ll know all your life.
Em B7
A constant group that leave you feeling safe.
Em B7 D B7
But I have learned that some are there to change you,Leave you wiser,
Em
rearranged
B7
but then are better left estranged.
Em B7
I heard you met him out the other night.
Em B7
And drunkenly expressed with all your might.
Em B7 D B7
That you still miss our friendship but abstain from taking action,
Em D B7
Still the same, I don’t miss fractions, can’t complain.
Em B7
You’re all telling stories,
Em D
You’re all telling lies,
Em B7
How come you’re so blurry?
Em D
You’re all in disguise.
Em B7 Em D (x2)
End on Em
