[Intro]: Bm
Bm G
I didn't wanna be the one to forget, I thought of everything I'd never regret
Em Bm A
A little time with you is all that I get, that's all I need because it's all we can take
Bm G
You used me once, if I'd look in on his dog, you made an offer for it then you ran off
Em Bm A
I've got a picture of us kids in my head, and all I hear is the last thing that you said
Bm A Bm G
I listened to your problems, now listen to mine, I didn't want to anymore, oh
Bm G Em
And we will never be alone again, cause it doesn't happen every day
A Bm
Kinda counted on you being a friend, can I give it up or give it away
G Em
Now I thought about what I wanna say, but I never really know where to go
A Bm
So I chained myself to a friend, cause I know it unlocks like a door
G Em
And we will never be alone again, but I never really know where to go
A Bm
So I chained myself to a friend, so more again
Bm G
It didn't matter what they wanted to see, he thought he saw someone that looked just like me
Em Bm A
The summer memory that just never dies, we worked too long and hard to give it no time
Bm G Em Bm A
One thousand lonely stars, hiding in the cold, take it, I don't wanna sing anymore
Bm A Bm G
I listened to your problems, now listen to mine, I didn't want to anymore, oh
Bm G Em
And we will never be alone again, cause it doesn't happen every day
A Bm
Kinda counted on you being a friend, can I give it up or give it away
G Em
And now I thought about what I wanna say, but I never really know where to go
A Bm
So I chained myself to a friend, cause I know it unlocks like a door
G Em A
I don't understand, don't get upset, I'm not with you
Bm G Em A
We're spinning around, it's all I do, when I'm with you
Bm G Em
And we will never be alone again, cause it doesn't happen every day
A Bm
Kinda counted on you being a friend, can I give it up or give it away
G Em
And now I thought about what I wanna say, but I never really know where to go
A Bm
So I chained myself to a friend, cause I know it unlocks like a door
G Em A
And we will never be alone again, we will never be alone again
Bm G Em A Bm G Em A
We will never be alone again
(I know they sing "He asked me once if I'd look in on his dog" in the original, but Natalie changes
it a bit, now I'm sure she sings "You used me once" but I can't figure out the bit after so I just
put "if I'd look in on his dog" for now. But I'll gladly change it if someone can figure it out!)
