[Verse]
A
Hello my platonic best friend
C#m E C#m D
I'm sending you this note
C#m
a long shot and a large confession
E
They say it’s crazy but I
[Bridge]
D
don't know how to tell you,
E
I've dropped some subtle hints
F#m
But we're close-knit like our clothes fit
E
so nit-pick one up like this
[Chorus]
A
I love you best friend, my best friend
C#m
unless you don't love me
D
then I just sent the wrong link
C#m
I got big dumb thumbs and
E A
I'd never send this to my best friend
[Verse]
A
Hello my platonic best friend
C#m E C#m D
let's take this nice and slow
D
I'm second-guessin' this confession but I reckon
C#m E
that I'm better with a "no" than "you should've said so"
[Bridge]
D
let's put our hands together
E
and we'll drop this whole façade
F#m
‘cause I just want us to be closer
D
than the 2 p's in "applaud"
[Chorus]
A
I love you best friend, my best friend
C#m
I had to let you know
D
by letting this guy do it for me
C#m E
it’s either real or a really really really good inside joke
A
between best friends
[Bridge]
A C#m
We are platonic but I wanna be the opposite, it seems
D C#m E
I've gotten caught up by the promise of this opportunity and
A C#m
I just wanted to acknowledge all the options at our feet
D C#m. E
and I don't wanna hide my noggin’ like an ostrich on the beach
A C#m
cause on the microscopic odds that you respond I wanna see
D C#m E
you spin the bottle, watch it wobble, have it stop, and point at me
A C#m
I am fond of talkin' to ya, it's ironic that I need
D C#m E
a melodic middle man to monologue this all for me
A C#m
but just as Washington was honored just for choppin' down a tree
D C#m E
a policy is flawed if it's not one of honesty
A C#m
it’s a lotta pills to swallow, here's some water if you need;
D C#m E
you can wash away the offer but this song is coming clean
ya
[Chorus]
A
I love you best friend, my best friend
C#m
it's such a simple sentence
D
that’s sent just to mess with
C#m E
our heads and with our friendship
[Outro]
A E
But don't stress I'm just messin’
F#m D
unless you're interested
A E
in the next step or progressin',
F#m E
I'm hedging all my bets on this old tune
D E A
but my platonic best friend... I love you
D E A
yeah, my platonic best friend... I love you
