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