I Could Use A Friend

View chords used in this chart

C

Swear I wasn't always like this

Am7

I could handle anything

Dm7

But, lately, I feel like a stranger

G

Living in my own skin

C

And, the older that I'm getting

Am7

The less I'm letting out

Dm7

I can feel my heart screaming

G

But I never make a sound

C Dm7

And I don't know how much of this I can take

C

If only I

Dm7

Could say what I'm thinking

Dm7 C

Instead, I'm just sinking in silence again

C

And I'm getting tired

Dm7

Of smiling and laughing

Dm7 C

With nobody asking how I really am

C

Oh, I could use a friend

C

It took a lot for me to call ya

Am7

But, now I've got you on the phone

Dm7

I don't wanna cut the small talk

G

Just to say, "I feel alone"

C

'Cause I don't wanna be a burden

Am7

Make it All about me

Dm7

Try to keep it on the surface

G

So you don't see underneath

C Dm7

And I don't know how much of this I can take

C

If only I

Dm7

Could say what I'm thinking

Dm7 C

Instead, I'm just sinking in silence again

C

And I'm getting tired

Dm7

Of smiling and laughing

Dm7 C

With nobody asking how I really am

Dm7

Oh, I could use a friend

Dm7

Much more than I'd admit

Dm7 C

Don't wanna state the obvious, but I've been losing it

Dm7

'Cause, even though I'm scared

Dm7

I wanna let you in

Dm7

But, every time I try, I swear the air is turning thin

Dm7

But I wanna let you in

C

If only I

Dm7

Could say what I'm thinking

Dm7 C

Instead, I'm just sinking in silence again

C

And I'm getting tired

Dm7

Of smiling and laughing

Dm7 C

With nobody asking how I really am

Dm7

Oh, I could use a friend

Dm7

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Dm7 C

Oh, I could use a friend

Dm7

Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

C

Oh, I could use a friend
