Introduction:
G
Here we are just trying to be flatmates
Em
Here we are just trying to sophisticate
D
Be an adult, trying not to fall in love
A
Be a human, trying not to stand out
G
Here we are just trying to be neighbours
Em
You in bed, me still with the painters
D
Smoking out the window, at the magpies
A G
Trying to work out what's the truth and what's the lie
D
I'm not saying that we will be best friends
A
But I took you dancing at the weekend
G
Tell your folks in bed you had to play
Gm
I tried to make you feel like the kids are playing pretend
D
I'm not saying that we can't be running mates
A
You run too fast for me, I try to keep the pace
G Gm
What I lack in speed I make up for in the way I move my hips
D
And the way the sun comes out when I move my lips
Am
So you won't want to miss
Em
All the shapes that can make
Gm
It's a choice you want to take
A
Here we are just trying to be
G
Oh, here we are just trying not to
D
Fall in love
F#
It's only human not to want to be alone
G
Here we are just trying to be
Gm
Oh, here we are just trying not to
D
Get too close
D
Come around to me, I'll be your lock and fold
A
Tell me all your dirt, I'll never tell a soul
G
Tell me over steaming mac n cheese
Gm
Hold the tray upon your knees, we can listen to the radio
D
I'm not saying I will cook you dinner
A
Stick with me and you'll only end up thinner
G
There are other ways to fill you up
Gm
I can look into your soul, I can feed you all the love
D
I?ve been saving up
Am
Oh, and don't get me wrong
Em
I'm digging my way in
Gm
I just like the game we?re playing
A
Here we are just trying to be
G
Oh, here we are just trying not to
D
Fall in love
F#
It's only human not to want to be alone
G
Here we are just trying to be
Gm
Oh, here we are just trying not to
D
Get too close
D
I?m not saying that we can?t be dreamers
A
Here we are just trying to be neighbours
G
We can lie awake and watch the sky
Gm
Forget the truth, forget the lie for the moment you?re my best friend
